I'm submitting form data which is a mixture of checkboxes and text inputs, some of which are integers and a couple text based. I am retrieving the data as follows: $var = (int)!empty($_POST['var']); for checkboxes, $var = (int)$_POST['var']; for integers and $var = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['var']); Is this correct? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
