PHP and Check Boxes

[Aranince]

For some reason...my PHP code does not like checkboxes.

	// Update the site settings
	public function settingsAction()
	{
		$this->validate();
		if( $this->_request->isPost() )
		{
			if( isset($_POST['enable']) )
			{
				$this->_db->fetchAll( "UPDATE settings SET setting_value='true' WHERE setting_name='site_enabled' LIMIT 1" );
			}
			else
			{
				$this->_db->fetchAll( "UPDATE settings SET setting_value='false' WHERE setting_name='site_enabled' LIMIT 1" );			
			}

		}
		$this->_redirect('/admin');
	}

That code will only set it to false, and not true...no matter the status of the checkbox.

<sub>Enable Site: <input type="checkbox" name="enable" checked="checked" /></sub>

I never liked isset(). Try something like this:

if ($_POST['enable']=='1') $value = true;

Although, I believe your code isn't working because the checkbox doesn't have a "value" attribute, so it is giving you an empty variable.

Exactly. Your checkbox needs to have a value or else isset() won't see it as being set.

Ah..thanks, it works. Or I could just use empty()?
