Cookie prob

[sveegaard]

Why does this code not work:

{
$checked=$_POST['checked'];
$cookie_val=1
if(isset($checked=='checked'))){
set_cookie('BSComputers', $cookie_val, time()+(3600*24*365));
} else {
};

The objects 'checked' is a checkbox

isset() can only be used with variables, it makes no sense with an expression as you have used.

The snippet can be rewritten simply as

if (isset($_POST['checked']) && (bool)$_POST['checked']) {
  set_cookie('BSComputers', 1, time() + 3600 * 24 * 365);
}

It doesn't really works...I don't understand what that (bool) is there for? How should the checkbox be named with this code?

[penagate]

I assumed the checkbox was named "checked".

(bool) is to convert the checkbox value into a boolean. It's not really necessary.
