grk101 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 hi guys,, i have searched for help but i am getting more lost with the array's etc so i decided to make a post. this is my script below, the problem is i can't get the checkboxes to send the info that is selected So if all of them are select they all send, if one selected one sends and so on.. i tried to make it an array by putting name="roominformation[]" but the word array would only send. thanks so much for any help <? $to = "[email protected]"; if (!isset($_POST['Submit'])) { showForm(); } else { //form submitted $error = 0; if(!preg_match("/^(?:[\w\d]+\.?)+@(??:[\w\d]\-?)+\.)+\w{2,4}$/", $_POST['email'])) { $error = 1; $errstr[] = "Please enter a valid email address"; } // if(empty($_POST['message']) || preg_match("/^enter your message here$/i", $_POST['message'])) { // $error = 1; // $errstr[] = "Please enter a message"; // } if(empty($_POST['imagetext'])) { $error = 1; $errstr[] = "Please validate the image code"; } else { include "securimage.php"; $img = new Securimage(); $valid = $img->check($_POST['imagetext']); if(!$valid) { $error = 1; $errstr[] = "The code you entered was incorrect"; } } if ($error == 1) { echo "<center>\n<font style=\"color: #FF0000\">\n"; foreach($errstr as $err) { echo "<li> " . $err . "</li>\n"; } echo "</font>\n</center>\n<br />\n\n"; showForm(); } else { @mail($to, "Room info - " . $_POST['firstname'], "\n\n Room Information:\n" . $_POST['roominformation'] .

Brandon Jaeger Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Rename the checkbox's names to roominformation[] and do this: $cb_values = $_POST["roominformation"]; foreach($cb_values as $val) { echo $val . '<br \>'; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127339-checkboxes-and-email-form-php-ugh/#findComment-658754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grk101 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 okay this is going to sound very stupid.. but where do i put that on my form ..... will that line pass my form? or do i still have to have the value @mail($to, "Room info - " . $_POST['firstname'], "\n\n Room Information:\n" . $_POST['roominformation'] . "\n\n" . stripslashes($_POST['']), "From: " . $_POST['email']); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127339-checkboxes-and-email-form-php-ugh/#findComment-658756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Jaeger Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Put it where you're checking for errors. Something like should work: $cb_values = $_POST["roominformation"]; $cb_num = count($cb_values); // this variable will hold the # of checkboxes that are checked $total_boxes = 7; // this variable will hold the # of total checkboxes if($cb_num < $total_boxes) // if the # of checked boxes is less than the total amount of checkboxes { $error = 1; $errorstr[] = "zomg"; } Then add it all together in a string and stick it in the mail() function or however you want to do it.
