checkbox

[Anon]

How do you use checkboxs with php & mysql? If its checked, is it consided 'true' or just 'checked', and if unchecked, is it considered 'false'?
I want to do something like...
if checkbox = true, then insert into table1 (email) value ($email);

Hi!

When you have checkboxes, it's very simple.

If you check one, the variable name (<INPUT NAME="...">) is sent to the script with its value (<INPUT VALUE>).

If you don't check it, the variable won't be sent, so its value won't too.

I hope I answered your question.

How would I use a checkbox in a if statement? I was thinking something like this: -
function update_newsletter() {
if($signup == 'ON')
{
$sql3 = "INSERT INTO newsletter (email,remote_addr,confirm_hash,is_confirmed) ".
"VALUES ('$email','$GLOBALS[REMOTE_ADDR]','$hash','0')";
$result=mysql_query($sql3);
}
else {
return false;
}

}

Would this work ok? (I would actually upload and try it, but my isp is down for today, so...)

Simply use this:

if(isset($checkbox_name)) {
...
}
