    I have a form that is submited to PHP, PHP evaluates it and sends it to my database. How do I get the value of a checkbox as 0 or 1? I used import_request_variables to get the data and it always returns 0.

    Heres an example:

    Your html form should contain the following...

    <input type= 'checkbox' name='test' value="0">Test 0

    <input type= 'checkbox' name='test' value="1">Test 1

    Your php...

    <?php

//will display the checked value (0 or 1)...
echo $_POST['test'];

//check if value is 0...
if($_POST['test'] == 0){
//its 0 thats selected...

}
?>
    PHP:
