Codeigniter checking checkbox value

Question

I\'m using CodeIgniter and I have a form with a checkbox that allows the user to check and remove their uploaded photo.
In my controller I use if(isset($checked)

Answer 1

What you need to do here is to change this line ...

if(isset($checked) == 1){

to

if((int) $checked == 1){

The reason is that the variable $checked will always be set whether its value is 1 or not. $checked = $this->input->post('remove'); will return NULL if the 'remove' is not set in the POST data.
