[Resolved] Passing checkbox var from form to mysql in the same page

[system]

<input type="checkbox" name="web" value="check">

this is page a with the form on it...

<form name="createimage" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF) ?>">

==

on top of this SAME page
I want to know of the checkbox is checked are not...

believe me I searched for more than 2 hours, but nowhere (google, here in the community) I found something to help me...

it's just 1 checkbox, no array.

normally I call data with

   	$Name = $formdata['name'];

so...how do I have to do it for an checkbox?

I will really appreciate the help...

thx a lot

Hi,
a checkbox it's same of any input field, only it isn't set if isn't checked.

[system]

$Web = $formdata['web'];

than

if (!empty($Web))
	{$Webcheck="Y";
	}
	$Webcheck="N";

still gives me N, although I checked it...
what am I'm doing wrong here?
I'm a noobie so...sowwy for the stupid questions (hopefully I can help you guys out some day 😉 )

[bad76]

if (!empty($Web))
{$Webcheck="Y";
}
$Webcheck="N";

and ELSE ?!? if you not put any else $Webcheck="N"; it's always executed...

if (!empty($Web)) {
    $Webcheck="Y"; 
} else {
    $Webcheck="N";
}

<form name="test" method="get" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">
<input type="checkbox" name="webcheck" value="check">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="click to submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isSet($_GET['webcheck'])){
echo "checked";
}else{
echo "not checked";
}
?>

tried both, but didn't work...

but u where right about the 'N', but I always want it to be 'N', to put in the database, I prefer it over just an empty field.

thx for the help already... I really appreciate it...

edit :going to try the 'kevinsequeira' line
