RE: [PHP-DB] 2 problems

the value will be what ever you set the value to be in your html tag. <intput type="checkbox" name="color" value="red"> if checked $_POST['color'] will equal "red". if unchecked, the index 'color' will not be in the $_POST array. hth Jeff "Hutchins, Richard" <Richard.Hutchins@Geti To: php-db@lists.php.net ngeusa.com> cc: Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] 2 problems 09/08/2003 08:30 AM Not really sure of the second part of your question, but, if I remember correctly, check boxes only appear in the POST vars if they're checked. And I'm pretty sure their values are ON. So, if you have a color checkbox named "red" and tha user checks it, it should show up as $_POST['color'] = ON. If the checkbox is not checked, you won't see it in the POST vars at all. > -----Original Message----- > From: Balaji H.
