The title of this post really says it all. I want to add a checkbox to the registration form which users must activate to demonstrate their compliance with the terms & Conditions of the site.
I simply copied one of the other lines of code and changed the input type to checkbox...
<input type="checkbox" name="compliance" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['compliance']); ?>" />...then added a new line to the error checking code...
if (!@$_REQUEST['compliance']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must agree to abide by our Terms & Conditions!<br/>\n"; }...but none of this seems to work.
The code does not seem to recognise when the box has been checked - which in turn generates an error message.

<input type="checkbox" name="compliance" value="1" />...and this...
if (@$_REQUEST['compliance']!='1') { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must agree to abide by our Terms & Conditions!<br/>\n"; }I don't know if it's right but it appears to work now.
Is there a better solution?

Your second solution is fine. It can also be written as:
if (!@$_REQUEST['compliance']) { .. }The reason this didn't work the first time was the value you were giving your check box was the current value of @$_REQUEST['compliance']. When you go to the page, this value is empty, so your check was failing regardless of whether they checked the box or not.
Hope this helps
