Processing html input checkbox within php program Q's?

[BobMCT]

Maybe this should be an HTML Q but seeing how its being done with PHP perhaps this is the better group.
Output form snippet:
<form . . . >
.
PSK? <input type="checkbox" name="_netsiteSecPSK" $_netsiteSecPSKY />
AES? <input type="checkbox" name="_netsiteSecAES" $_netsiteSecAESY />
.
</form>

Input processing:
.
$_netsiteSecPSK = $_POST['_netsiteSecPSK'];
$_netsiteSecAES = $_POST['_netsiteSecAES'];
.
and I receive this error notice upon input:

Notice: Undefined index: _netsiteSecPSK in . . .
Notice: Undefined index: _netsiteSecAES in . . .

I've checked and rechecked and rechecked my forms field definitions but I DO NOT receive these two fields back with the form.

I've researched various tech sites and I seem to be coding the form fields correctly so what gives? I know I must be missing something very simple. But I cannot seem to see it (yet).

So, if anyone can shed some light on this, PLEASE DO?

Thanks

Hi

I DO NOT receive these two fields back with the form.

Correct, assuming the checkboxes were not checked. Browsers not send information about unchecked checkboxes. You may either
[ul]
[li]check whether the given items are set :

[navy]$_netsiteSecPSK[/navy] [teal]=[/teal] [highlight][b]isset[/b][teal]([/teal][navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecPSK'[/green][/i][teal]]) ?[/teal][/highlight] [navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecPSK'[/green][/i][teal]][/teal] [highlight][teal]:[/teal] [i][green]''[/green][/i][/highlight][teal];[/teal]
[navy]$_netsiteSecAES[/navy] [teal]=[/teal] [highlight][b]isset[/b][teal]([/teal][navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecAES'[/green][/i][teal]]) ?[/teal][/highlight] [navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecAES'[/green][/i][teal]][/teal] [highlight][teal]:[/teal] [i][green]''[/green][/i][/highlight][teal];[/teal]

[/li]
[li]provide some defaults before using the items :

[highlight][navy]$_POST[/navy] [teal]+= [[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecPSK'[/green][/i] [teal]=>[/teal] [i][green]''[/green][/i][teal],[/teal] [i][green]'_netsiteSecAES'[/green][/i] [teal]=>[/teal] [i][green]''[/green][/i][teal]];[/teal][/highlight]
[navy]$_netsiteSecPSK[/navy] [teal]=[/teal] [navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecPSK'[/green][/i][teal]];[/teal]
[navy]$_netsiteSecAES[/navy] [teal]=[/teal] [navy]$_POST[/navy][teal][[/teal][i][green]'_netsiteSecAES'[/green][/i][teal]];[/teal]

[/li]
[/ul]

Thanks feherke,
I must have spent too many hours on that issue yesterday and missed that. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Did HTML change on me or are we still missing "value=" in the form?
