How to verify this checkbox is checked?

2 Views

Actually I want to include a file if the checkbox is checked 

<?php
$checked = get_option('automatic') ? "checked='checked'" : "";
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='automatic' $checked />";
?>

if(get_option('automatic') == 'checked')) ( require_once 'myfile.php'; )

This form is in a plugin option page

  1. <?php
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='automatic' value='1' ".checked(1, get_option('automatic'))." />";

if (get_option('automatic') === '1') { require_once 'myfile.php'; }
?>

  3. You may want to check out this tutorial.

    An example:

    $checked = get_option( 'automatic' ) ? 'checked="checked"' : '';
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="automatic" value="automatic" ' . $checked . '/>';

// verify form submission (use nonces: wp_verify_nonce)

if ( isset( $_POST['automatic'] ) AND $_POST['automatic'] === 'automatic' )
{
    require_once( 'myfile.php' );
}

  4. I will not take more if your time. I just need to know why my function inside the IF statement is not working. If I place it somewher without the IF staememt it work wonderfully 

    <?php

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='automatic' value='1' ".checked(1, get_option('automatic'))." />";

if (get_option('automatic') === '1') {
    function wp_automatically_shorcode($content) {
        ob_start();
        wp_automatically_functions();
        $output_string=ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        return $output_string;
    }
    add_shortcode('automatic', 'wp_automatically_shorcode');

    function wp_automatically_functions() {
        echo 'ACTIVATED';
    }
}
?>
