Hello everybody,

 

I'm new at this forum. I'm trying to post the value of multiple checkboxes to an email, but in my output email, i always get the type array for my checkbox value. Here you can see the php code below :

I succeed to get the print of checkboxes on the "thank you" php page, but i'm having problems to send them to the email field.

Thank you for any help guys!!!!!

<?php

 

$my_email = "[email protected]";

$continue = "/";

$product = "";

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != "POST"){exit;}

 

function new_line_check($a)

{

 

if(preg_match('`[\r\n]`',$a)){header("location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");exit;}

 

 

}

new_line_check($_POST['field1']);

new_line_check($_POST['field3']);

 

 

 

print ("You ordered the following products:<br />");

 

if(is_array($_POST['field2']))

{

foreach($_POST['field2'] as $product)

{

print ("$product<br />");

}

}

 

$product = implode(', ', $_POST['field2']);

$message = "";

 

 

foreach($_POST as $key => $value){if(!(empty($value))){$set=1;}$message = $message . "$key: $value\n\n";} if($set!==1){header("location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");exit;}

 

$message = $message ;

$message = stripslashes($message);

 

$subject = "inschrijving ";

$headers = "From: " . $_POST['field3'] . "\n" . "Return-Path: " . $_POST['field3'] . "\n";

 

mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers,$_POST['field3']);

?>

Checkboxes when evaluating to true (read: checked) return an array

 

<?php
  $x = count($_POST['field2']);
  
  for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++)
  {
    $message .= 'You ordered product ' . $_POST['field2'][$i];
  }
?>

 

See return vals of Your Checkboxes

Thank you,

 

I have still problems though. Now i recieve in my email following text :

------------------------------------

" You ordered product product001You ordered product product003You ordered product product004field1: raf

 

field2: Array

 

field3: [email protected] "

 

------------------------------------

 

Field 2 still gives the array message and the message repeats every time.

 

Thanx in advance

I have looked through your code and reorganized it and took out some parts that you were not using yet.  The main issue was that you were treating $_POST['field2'] as an associative array instead of a regular array.  You can't key => value on arrays using numerical indexes as far as I know.  I also tab formatted your code for readability.  This structure I give you is a little easier to understand I hope.  Put your email in the $to field, and replace your multipleselections.php with mine and test it :)  Keep your old copy in case you don't like mine!

 

multipleselections.php

<?php
  //Setup Email
  $to      = '[email protected]'; //## CHANGE TO YOUR INBOX ##
  $subject = "inschrijving ";// message subject
  $message = '';//initialize as blank
  $products = '';//initialize as blank
  $headers = "From: " . $_POST['field3'] . "\r\n" . "Return-Path: " . $_POST['field3'] . "\r\n";
  //setup email

//FUNCTION
function new_line_check($a)
{
  if(preg_match('`[\r\n]`',$a)){header("location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");exit;}
}//nlc

//Make sure page is being accessed correctly
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != "POST")
{
  exit();
}

//validate $_POST vars
new_line_check($_POST['field1']);
new_line_check($_POST['field3']);

//FIELD2 RETURNS A REGULAR ARRAY,NOT ASSOCIATIVE
if(is_array($_POST['field2']))
{
  $x = count($_POST['field2']);
  for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++)
  {
    $products .= "Item $i: " . $_POST['field2'][$i] . "\r\n";
  }
}


//check all post vars have values
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
  if(!(empty($value)))
  {
    $set=1;
  }
}
//if value is empty, return to previous page
if($set!==1)
{
  header("Location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");
  exit();
}

//FORMAT MESSAGE AS YOU WANT
$message = "New order from: " . stripslashes($_POST['field3']) . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "Customer Name: " . $_POST['field1'] . "\r\n";
$message .= "Date: " . date("F j, Y - G:i") . "\r\n\r\n";
$message .= $products;
$message = stripslashes($message);


//SEND THE EMAIL
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

//OUTPUT MESSAGE TO CLIENT BELOW
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<div align="left"><span class="style1">Thanx for your order <?php echo stripslashes($_POST['field3']); ?>!
<p>Order:<br />
<?php echo nl2br($products); ?></p>
