USING CHECKBOXES IN A FORM
If you're using a checkbox in a form and want test if the checkbox was checked, you must not
specify any value in the checkbox input, otherwise it won't work.
Id est :
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"cb\">
will work
you can then test after submitting the form like this
if ($cb)
{
//what to do if the box was checked
}
else
{
//what to do if the box wasn't checked
}
but
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name\"cb\" value\"$cb\">
won't work. If your using the same "if" instruction than above, it will be always
false.
Believe me I spend hours wondering why it wasn't working!
