for example i have 2 txtboxes and 2 checkboxes. once the form is posted, i want to know what is the type, is it a txtbox variable or the checkboxvalue. how can i do that.

That information is not part of the post data. The only way PHP could tell would be if you used some sort of naming convention for your form field names, then wrote some code in your PHP script to determine the type based on the $_POST array key names. Thus such type identification would only be as good as your adherence to the naming convention you choose.
