Codeigniter Getting the value of a checkbox

I want to get the value of a checkbox once it checked.

From my code

$vat_checkbox = $this->input->post('vat_checkbox');

print_r($vat_checkbox);
die();

it display "on". I will use it for validation. What would be the proper way without using javascript?

Just add value attribute in input tag if you dont want to do with jquery

<form action="test.php" method="POST">
    <input type="checkbox" name="vat_checkbox_1" value="1" checked>
    <input type="checkbox" name="vat_checkbox_2" checked>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>

If you added value then it will give you value from value attribute else "on"
Output:

Array
(
    [vat_checkbox_1] => 1
    [vat_checkbox_2] => on
    [submit] => SUBMIT
)

Here, In Controller you can directly use your checkbox data without any manipulation.

When checkbox is checked you will get value as on else you will not get that tag also. so You can do something like this.

$post['vat_checkbox'] = $this->input->post('vat_checkbox');

if(isset($post['vat_checkbox']) && $post['vat_checkbox'] == 'on') {
     $post['vat_checkbox'] = 1;
} else {
     $post['vat_checkbox'] = 0;
}

Here $post['vat_checkbox'] you can use for operation
