[php] checkboxes

[Maggie Iaquinto]

Thanks to Greg and David Dawson, my checkboxes now work. I use the POST
method for those variables and then if(isset...)). I gave up on the .=
for the $msg and just used echo.

It all works now.

I'm not sure what other configuration options you have on your setup -
and I 
am not familiar with Uniserver - but, is this a scope issue?

I would have in my script either : global $chkMeat, $chkVeg, $chkSweet, 
$chkBev;
or, I would read the values in from the $_POST[] array:
$chkMeat = $_POST['chkMeat'];
etc.

The reason I am somewhat hesitant is that you seem to be getting the 
expected result at home. Uniserver may allow a more relaxed syntax on
the 
expectation of running on a single machine. If so, it would seem a
faulty 
assumption to make if used for further development. Otherwise, you may 
simply have a more relaxed scope option configured on your home setup
(that 
seems to be the safest and most intelligent option from the developer's 
point of view. Certainly, the syntax I have suggested above is the only
one 
that will work in any of my linux setups with php 4.3 , which I use.

I hope this is helpful?

Cheers

Greg
