the value will be what ever you set the value to be in your html tag.
<intput type="checkbox" name="color" value="red">
if checked $_POST['color'] will equal "red". if unchecked, the index
'color' will not be in the $_POST array.

Not really sure of the second part of your question, but, if I remember
correctly, check boxes only appear in the POST vars if they're checked. And
I'm pretty sure their values are ON. So, if you have a color checkbox named
"red" and tha user checks it, it should show up as $_POST['color'] = ON. If
the checkbox is not checked, you won't see it in the POST vars at all.
