Hello Ben, You should use isset: if (isset($_POST['check'])) { // The checkbox is checked } else { // It's unchecked } -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ----- Original message ----- From: Ben Brentlinger <Ben@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sunday, October 31, 2010, 4:05:06 AM Subject: questions about if statements regarding a checkbox hello, I'd like to know the proper code to use in a php script that processes a form with a checkbox in order to send one email if the checkbox has been checked and another email if the checkbox hasn't. I tried if($check == true) and I tried putting the word "true" in double quotes, and both of them caused the "unexpected variable" syntax error. The only problem is, all I could think to use was that line of code I just used, I'm not sure what the proper syntax is for checkbox when using the if statement to send one email when the checkbox is checked and a different email when it's not checked. I'm wanting to send an email to the site admin with the information given by the person who filled out the form that contains the checkbox.
