checkboxes???

[l_evans]

Hi , I dont know anything about checkboxes? are they like lists or textboxes?

I want to have a checkbox and in php do an if statement that does:

if(checkbox = true)
{
$blah = blah blah blah
}
if(checkbox = false)
{
$blah = dhjwidhq;
}

so say the checkbox name is "checkbox". how do i check if it is true or not? is it a boolean value???? please help

thanks,

Lee

say you have this

One <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="one">
Two <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="two">
Three <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="three">

then in your php page you can do this

if ($POST['checkbox'] == "one")
{
echo "you chose ONE";
}
else if ($POST['checkbox'] == "two")
{
echo "you chose TWO";
}
else if ($_POST['checkbox'] == "three")
{

}echo "you chose THREE";
else
{
echo "you didn't chose anything
}

so yes in that application it is just like a text field for checking, but what happens if you have more that one checked?? you have to do some other weird things with arrays and for loops and such
