checkboxes and php

**leonidassavvides** · 03-05-2009, 10:35 AM

if in a form we have

Code:

<label>
      <input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="remember" value="yes" />
      Remember me?</label>

then the php handler refers to this var as

$VALUE=$_POST['remember'];

CHECKED checkbox will give $VALUE="yes" and UNCHECKED checkbox will give $VALUE="" ? CORRECT ?

No. If it is not checked, it won't even be send to the server for processing.

To see if a checkbox has been checked, the simple method I use it:

PHP Code:


$has_checkbox_been_checked = isset($_POST['remember']); //returns a boolean

is it wrong the

remember=checkbox

Code:

  if ($_POST['remember'] == "yes") {
	  $remember = $_SESSION["email"];
	  setcookie("remember", $remember, time()+60*60*24*365);    //  3 months 
  }

below is more correct

Code:

  if (isset($_POST['remember'])) {
	  $remember = $_SESSION["email"];
	  setcookie("remember", $remember, time()+60*60*24*365);    //  3 months 
  }

The second one is better because the first one will sometimes -- if the error reporting level is high -- spit out errors.

where is error below during login[remember checkbox checked] ?
Is it error set a php cookie, without unset first ?
Or the session statement makes the error ?
if FALSE THE (isset($_POST['remember'])) no error at all , well ?

if (isset($_POST['remember'])) {
$remember = $_SESSION["email"];
setcookie("remember", $remember, time()+60*60*24*365); // 3 months // line 99
}

You cannot set a cookie after something has been sent to the user's browser.

On a line somewhere before line 99, something has been output.

NEITHER unset a cookie, can I ?
by using php and time prior today ?

I use some javascript alerts prior...

**JasonDFR** · 03-09-2009, 06:36 AM

No.

You can't set or delete COOKIES after outputting something. Javascript is something.

Your dbinfo.php has the problem.

Delete the closing php tag from it ?> This is probably the problem.

and be sure that there are no spaces before the opening <?php tag.
