[RESOLVED] Error on $_POST checkbox

If I tick the checkbox everything is fine, it only errors with an unchecked checkbox on line

$merit = $_POST['merit'];

It's not recognising the 'merit' form value, sorry don't have the error message, if left unticked :(

HTML forms don't send the values of checkbox inputs that aren't checked. Try using isset() to make sure you have data before setting it:

Code:

---

$merit = 0;
if(isset($_POST['merit'])){
  $merit = $_POST['merit'];
}

//or...

$merit = (isset($_POST['merit'])) ? $_POST['merit'] : 0;

Thanks mate, works like a brought one :thumb:
