But this doesn't work... any ideas?

if (!@$_REQUEST['declaration']) { $alertsAndErrors .= "You tick your declaration!<br/>\n"; }But this doesn't work... any ideas?

Hi Tim,
It's because $_REQUEST['declaration'] doesn't have a value when you first display the form, so you're getting value="".
Try using 1 for the value like this:
<input name="declaration" type="checkbox" value="1">
Let me know if that works, or if you need the value to be something specific.
Hope that helps! :)
