For anyone out there in the internets, I got! I got it!!!! This post helped: http://www.kirupa.com/web/php_contact_form3.htm $nameField = $_POST['name']; $addressField = $_POST['address']; $cityField = $_POST['city']; $stateField = $_POST['state']; $zipField = $_POST['zip']; $phoneField = $_POST['phone']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $ownerField = $_POST['owner']; $projectField = $_POST['project']; $contactField = $_POST['contact']; $callField = $_POST['call']; $timeField = $_POST['time']; $commentField = $_POST['commment']; foreach($_POST['interest'] as $value) { $check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n"; } $body = <<<EOD <br><hr><br> Name: $name <br> Address: $address <br> City: $city <br> State: $state <br> Zip Code: $zip <br> Phone: $phone <br> Email: $email <br> Owner: $owner <br> Interested in: $check_msg <br> Project To Begin: $project <br> Best Way To Contact: $contact <br> Best Time to Call: $call $time <br> Comments: $comment <br> EOD;

I've just tried this: $nameField = $_POST['name']; $addressField = $_POST['address']; $cityField = $_POST['city']; $stateField = $_POST['state']; $zipField = $_POST['zip']; $phoneField = $_POST['phone']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $ownerField = $_POST['owner']; foreach($_POST['interest'] as $value) { $check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n"; } $projectField = $_POST['project']; $contactField = $_POST['contact']; $callField = $_POST['call']; $timeField = $_POST['time']; $commentField = $_POST['commment']; and THAT isn't working either. Still getting "array" sent to my email.

Here's my HTML: <form class="appnitro" method="post" action="contactformprocess.php"> <h2>Information Request</h2> <p>Thank you for your interest.

Yes, I know I am calling the right php file, everything else works when I use the type="text" method, but not when I use the "checkbox" method. I'm just not sure how to get the values instead of just the word "array" sent to my email. I need that data and don't know how to get it.

Thank you Ken for your answer. I am still getting the word "array" instead of actual data.

Hello All. I am a Web Designer in NY and I'm getting more into PHP programming and will be posting questions as I go, I hope this forum will help me grow and that someday I can also be able to help others as well. I have a Graphic Design background and got a BFA. I am taking training classes in NYC to learn more PHP but I have a lot to go. Most of the things I do at work is design and build web sites and from time to time I do advertisements and traditional design. I enjoy my work and think there is always something new to discover. I love rock music and enjoy being active!

So like this? That didn't work... $nameField = $_POST['name']; $addressField = $_POST['address']; $cityField = $_POST['city']; $stateField = $_POST['state']; $zipField = $_POST['zip']; $phoneField = $_POST['phone']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $ownerField = $_POST['owner']; if ( isset($_POST['interest']) ) { $_POST['interest'] = implode(', ', $_POST['interest']); //Converts an array into a single string } $interestField = $_POST['interest'];

I've been doing a lot of research on why I keep getting the word "array" instead of what the person actually wants from the "request information" form I am creating with html/php. Here's my HTML: <p>I am Interested in:<br> <input name="interest[]" type="checkbox" value="A Storage Shed" />A Storage Shed<br> <input name="interest[]" type="checkbox" value="A Garage" />A Garage<br> <input name="interest[]" type="checkbox" value="A Gazebo" />A Gazebo<br> <input name="interest[]" type="checkbox" value="Other" />Other<br> <input name="interest[]" type="checkbox" value="I'd like information about financing programs" />I'd like information about financing programs </p> Here's the PHP part relevant to this: $nameField = $_POST['name']; $addressField = $_POST['address']; $cityField = $_POST['city']; $stateField = $_POST['state']; $zipField = $_POST['zip']; $phoneField = $_POST['phone']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $ownerField = $_POST['owner']; $interestField = $_POST['interest']; if ( isset($_POST['interest']) ) { $_POST['interest'] = implode(', ', $_POST['interest']); //Converts an array into a single string } The results I am getting sent to my email under the "interest" field as marked as "array" instead of what they have actually checked. What else do I need?
