if the checkbox is checked then you'll get the value in the php script. If

something like: echo $_POST['foo'];


its a good idea to write your scripts without dependency on globals being
turned on, its a security risk for it to be on.

Hi all.

This might be a simple answer, but I'm still not sure what the case is.
Okay, so I have a <form> in my html that has some <input>s. These each
have a `name` and a `value` attribute to them, of course.


I cannot seem to access the name/value pair in my php without using the
$_POST method/variable names. Are you able to without $_POST? Example:


-------------------
html:
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar">

php:
do this:
echo "foo = " . $foo; // foo = bar

or this:
echo "foo = " . $_POST["foo"]; // foo = bar
-------------------

So, should both of those php examples work the same?

Thanks!
