[PHP] HTTP_POST_VARS not picking up checkboxes that are unchecked

[Tom Beidler]

I have a form with approximately 40 input fields. When a form is posted it
sends an email and then builds a tab delimited $txt entry for a text file on
the server.

The problem is that if a checkbox is not checked, when it's not required, I
don't get a blank entry in my tab file for the checkbox input. I'm imploding
my HTTP_POST_VARS variable like so;

reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
  while (list($var, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
    if (is_array($value)){
      $txt .= implode($value, "\t");
      $txt .= "\t";
    }
    else{
      $txt .= "$value\t";
    }
 }
 $txt .= "end\n";
 $flsfile = fopen("text/fls.txt", "a");
 if ($flsfile){
    fputs($flsfile, "$txt");
    fclose($flsfile);
 }

Is there a way to send a blank value if the checkbox is not set? Should I
use a completely different strategy? Have I said Thank you enough to Rasmus
Lerdorf and whomever else was involved in resuscitating the list?

Thanks Rasmus Lerdorf and all others involved for getting the list back up
and running.
