Quick Checkbox Error

[gobbles]

Hey All,

Im just having a bit of a problem with a form.

I have a checkbox with the following attributes

<input type="checkbox" name="drivers_licence" value="YES">

in the other form i have

$licence = $_POST["drivers_licence"];

Im just wondering why it would be giving me a error like the following

Undefined index: drivers_licence

Can anyone point out where im going wrong?

Cheers

Do you have the form set to method="post"?

Do you get the error both when the checkbox is checked and when it is not?

I have always used single quotation marks, like this $licence = $_POST['drivers_licence']; but I don't know if that could have anything to do with it.

The form is set to POST and it does it with both " and '

Does this error occur when the checkbox is checked? If the checkbox is not checked, the browser will not (or, should not) POST the variable at all. As such, you might want to use a function like [man]isset/man before you assume it has a value:

$drivers_license = (isset($_POST['drivers_license']) ? $_POST['drivers_license'] : '');
