How to read if a checkbox is checked in PHP?

Answer 1

To check if a checkbox is checked use empty()

When the form is submitted, the checkbox will ALWAYS be set, because ALL POST variables will be sent with the form.

Check if checkbox is checked with empty as followed:

//Check if checkbox is checked    
if(!empty($_POST['checkbox'])){
 #Checkbox selected code
} else {
 #Checkbox not selected code
}
