I have a html form with some "text" (T1) and "checkbox" (C1) fields to pass it to a php script. Accessing "text" fields has no problem. There is a problem when I use $C1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['C1'] to take the value of C1 (ON) If it is not checked, then it is not set at all. (??why??) So I use : if (!isset($C1)) { $C1="0" } but still I get an warning that C1 is not set, on my screen. That happens before the use of isset function. How can I susspent this warning message? Makis,

why do you use $HTTP_POST_VARS? Do I miss something? if you have a form and send it, the vars have the same names as in your form, will say if your checkbox name="foo" value="someval" will be transmitted, then in the following page there´s a var named $foo. and the value will be "someval" if the box is checked, otherwise there´s no (or NULL or FALSE ???) value in it. I personally prefer put checkbox vars (if there are several) in an array f.e. $foo[] In the following page I just scan the array and if there´s a value in a field thats fine. HTH Oliver
