you could first check for isset($_POST['keyword']) and then if that passes check what keywords you have. or you could write an additional html tag to the page like. <input type="hidden" name="keyword[]" value="NA">. This would force the $_POST['keyword'] array to exist and then you'd have to strip that from your array when processing it hth Jeff Keith Wilkinson <nzkiwi@mte.biglo To: php-db@lists.php.net be.ne.jp> cc: Subject: Determining if checkbox is selected in PHP 09/09/2003 08:09 AM I'm storing the values from a groups of checkboxes in an array "keyword[]", but $_POST['keyword'] is undefined if none of the checkboxes is checked. I tried using "in_array()" with $_POST to determine if any of the group of 'keyword' checkboxes is checked, but can't get it to work; does anyone have any suggestions? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
