isset($_POST['remember']) checkbox issue in PHP - php

Question

I need to test if a checkbox is checked. I've searched for the solution and found it, but it still don't work for me.
Here's my form :
<form method="post" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<div class="input-group">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input id="remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" value="1"> Remember me
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:10px" class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-12 controls">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" name="loginform">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
and my PHP code :
if (isset($_POST["loginform"])) {
if(isset($_POST['remember'])) {
$month = time() + 2592000;
debug_to_console($month); // function equivalent to console.log in JS
setcookie('remember_me', $_POST['username'], $month);
}
}
EDIT , debug_to_console() function :
function debug_to_console( $data ) {
if ( is_array( $data ) )
$output = "<script>console.log( 'Debug Objects: " . implode( ',', $data) . "' );</script>";
else
$output = "<script>console.log( 'Debug Objects: " . $data . "' );</script>";
echo $output;
}
EDIT 2 (Whole PHP code) :
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_COOKIE['remember_me']))
$_SESSION['user'] = $_COOKIE['remember_me'];
$success = true;
if (isset($_POST["loginform"])) {
if(isset($_POST['remember'])) {
$month = time() + 2592000;
echo "<h1>Month: $month</h1>";
setcookie('remember_me', $_POST['username'], $month);
}
$password = $_POST['password'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
// Form Validation
if (!$email || !$password || !filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
$success = false;
else
{
Db_connect($connection);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $email);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $password);
$query = mysqli_query($connection, "select * from users where email='$email'");
$rows = mysqli_num_rows($query);
if ($rows == 1) {
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
$hashpass = $row['password'];
if ( hash_equals($hashpass, crypt($password, $hashpass)) ) {
$_SESSION['user'] = $row['username'];
header("location: login.php");
}
else
$success = false;
} else
$success = false;
mysqli_close($connection);
}
}
function Db_connect(&$connection){
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","", "project_web");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
function debug_to_console( $data ) {
if ( is_array( $data ) )
$output = "<script>console.log( 'Debug Objects: " . implode( ',', $data) . "' );</script>";
else
$output = "<script>console.log( 'Debug Objects: " . $data . "' );</script>";
echo $output;
}
?>
When i submit my form with the checkbox checked, and i look at the console, it is empty, while it is supposed to display the value of $month. Which means $_POST['remember'] is not set while it is supposed to be set due to the form submit.
Can anyone help please ?
Thank's in advance.

Answer 1

$_POST['remember'] would be true or false .... remove value =1 ... you will get value ... true or false ... validate according to that ...

Answer 2

Make an action attribute like
<form method="post" action="" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
The php code
if (isset($_POST)) {
if(isset($_POST['remember'])) {
$month = time() + 2592000;
debug_to_console($month); // function equivalent to console.log in JS
setcookie('remember_me', $_POST['username'], $month);
}
}
