Do you read the other emails on this list, too, or just ask questions? Checkboxes were the subject of quite a few posts in recent weeks. If a checkbox is not checked, then the variable is not set at all... So, to do something like you want, use this: if(isset($_POST['checkbox'])) { echo "Checkbox was checked.. values is: {$_POST['checkbox']}"; } else { echo "Checkbox was not checked.. assigning default value..."; $_POST['checkbox'] = 'default value'; } or simply: $cb = (isset($_POST['checkbox'])) ? 1 : 0; $cb will then be 1 or 0 based on whether the box was checked or not. ---John Holmes...
