You can do something like

        $value = expandText("$checkbox[0]");
        if ($value == "on")
        {
                .....
        }

It isn't the indended use for expandText but it'll work. It was intended
to be used like

        $first = "David";
        $last = "Hughes"
        $message = "Hello $first $last, welcome to the show";
        $output = expandText($message);
