I know I can use isset, it just adds a bunch of extra code. I like to find minimal solutions to these things if possible as they are easier to read, and faster to execute. -- Tom

As already suggested, isset() and empty() are good choices here. Which one you choose it dependent on what exactly your truth table is. Or, it might work better for you to use !isset() or even !empty(). if (!empty($_POST['checkboxfieldname']) { /** do stuff */ } -- Teach a man to fish...
