[RESOLVED] Error on $_POST checkbox

[KiwiDexter]

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:

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

//or...

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