checkbox values using setField and $_ POST

[bhamm]

hello..

i have a form with several checkboxes available for each hotel room night:

Nite_1_Check

Nite_2_Check

...

if i submit the form WITH a box checked, no problem. If i don't select the box and submit, it errors out "Notice: Undefined index: Nite_1_Check... Here's what i started with:

$edit->setField('Nite_1_Check', $_POST['Nite_1_Check']);

when that didn't work (if unchecked), i tried several variations of:

if ($_POST['Nite_1_Check'] != NULL) {

  $edit->setField('Nite_1_Check', $_POST['Nite_1_Check']);

  } else {

  $edit->setField('Nite_1_Check', NULL);

}

but that doesn't work. Since all of my other (non- checkbox) fields work fine, i have a feeling this has something to do with PHP not being able to send/POST a NULL value(?). Am i approaching this right?

thanks..

got it.. i had to use an "isset"

if (isset($_POST['Nite_1_Check'])) {

	$edit->setField('Nite_1_Check', $_POST['Nite_1_Check']);

		} else {

	$edit->setField('Nite_1_Check', NULL);

	}

works great.. hooray for trial/error :
