Determine if checkbox is checked or unchecked

[Lauj]

I have a checkbox like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="chkbxHideStat" value="checkbox">

on the previous page for user to check and uncheck. How do I determine if this checkbox is checked or unchecked on the next process page? Do I have to change the "Value" variable in the checkbox so on the process page I can determine if it is checked or uncheck? If I do this:

$chkBox = $HTTP_POST_VARS["chkbxHideStat"];

I would only get the value and not the check or uncheck status.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

For a chekcbox, the variable and it's corresponding value is only set if the box is checked. So you would use:

if (isset($_POST[chkbxHideStat])) { //do something

Many thanks for the help. So what is the value of the checkbox if it is checked?
