checkbox Problem

Below is code that I only want to set the value of $location if the checkbox is checked.

[code=php]

<input name=”location” type=”text” id=”location” style=”margin:.5em;” value=”<?php echo $_SESSION[‘city’].’ ‘.$_SESSION[‘province’]; ?>” />
</span></td>
<td class=”rightTwoColumn” style=”width:5%;”><input name=”checkbox_location” type=”checkbox” id=”checkbox_location” value=”locationTrue” /></td>
</tr>

// script to test if checked

if($checkbox_location == “locationTrue”){
$location = $_POST[‘location’];
}
[/code]

@kprocauthorJul 10.2007 — its entering the value regardless if the checkbox is selected

@temp_user123Jul 10.2007 — Not necessarily. Do this:
[code=php]
$location = '';
if($checkbox_location == "locationTrue"){
$location = $_POST['location'];
}[/code]

[code=php]
// script to test if checked

if($_POST['checkbox_location'] == "locationTrue"){
$location = $_POST['location'];
}
[/code]
