[SOLVED] PHP Form | check box issues | need help!

[passam]

I used a wizard to help myself with the code, modified variables and everything was ok until I added a check box.  If I do check the check box  everything work and I my email into my gmail account.  But, if I leave it blank - that`s it.  I get the error below.  I moved it around changed lines nothing works.  Help!? Please.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/a/c/r/mysite/html/sms.php on line 31

 

this warning is what sends your headers.. then you get the error seen below which is headers already sent..

 

and as for line 31

 

$_POST['check'] is not an array..

 

try

 

<?php
  print_r($_POST);
?>

and see what it has for 'check'

[landavia]

for check. u should use simple value

btw.. in the post result there are't any check

but is found

 

$_POST['check[]'] ^^

 

[RussellReal]

landavia

 

name="check[]"

 

is supported by php

 

it will form an array inside of $_POST['check']

 

so his code is correct, it is just not grabbing anything..

 

 

OOOH also

 

if the checkbox isn't checked, it won't show up in your POST.. which could explain the error, you could hide warnings.. or output buffer

 

ob_start

[landavia]

sry.. i missed that

well.. to avoid error.. u should try trap them with

if($_POST['check']){
   foreach($_POST['check']  as  $value)  
   {   //*****************this is line 31***********//
          $check_msg .= "$value\n";

    }

}

RussellReal thank your for your help. And Landavia thank you for yours.  I just went with trapping I was not sure how to use ob_start().  The trapping works in both cases: with checked box and empty.

 

Again Thank you so much to Both of you for your HELP!!!

 

I just used the code Landavia left:

 

if($_POST['check']){
   foreach($_POST['check']  as  $value) 
   {   
          $check_msg .= "$value\n";

    }
