Tick boxes. gah need help plz.

[Richardtagger]

i have a signup form for members, i want it so that they must agree to the terms of service. so far i have this part of code:

if($terms = "checked"){
$error5 = '<font face="Tahoma"><font color="#FF0000"><strong>You must agree to the Terms of Service.<br /><br />';
$fail5 = 1;
}

i want sure what syntax to use so i have to say if($terms = "checked") which of course is wrong. I m not sure what the if command is for if the box is ticked. Please could you help me. Thanx

Just check if the value is true.

if($terms)

equivalent to

if($terms == true)

Actually, you should check that it is set, using say, isset()

If the checkbox is not checked, then it would not be set.
