I have a checkbox which is as follow:

<input name="bcmore" id="bcmore" type="checkbox" value="yes">

I am getting the value Yes, when it is checked, but what I want is to also get some value if it is not checked. So how can I get the value, if it is not checked in php?

One solution is like this:

$checkbox1 =  if(isset($_POST['bcmore'])) {
    echo "Yes"; 
}   else
    echo "No";

But is thery any other way to do the same?

Expect it: `$bcmore = isset($_POST['bcmore']) ? 'yes' : 'no';` – Lawrence Cherone Feb 02 '18 at 08:52
@pedram, No, it's not answering my question because whenI do not check the box, POST will not show any value, and database will have a NULL value. – Umar Feb 02 '18 at 08:53
What you wrote is not valid syntax, you can't use an `if` statement as an expression. – Barmar Feb 02 '18 at 08:53
@Umar Using `isset()` is the correct and only way. Unchecked boxes are simply not sent to the server. – Barmar Feb 02 '18 at 08:55
Besides, you shouldn't be inserting in the database till you done validation. – Lawrence Cherone Feb 02 '18 at 08:58
