Hello, i'm trying to send this form to my E-Mail (which works) but i'm also trying to get the checkboxes to appear in the E-mail Body Content. Here is the form on the .net: http://www.jchambo.com/contact.html

 

This form sends all of the information the person fills out to my E-mail and looks like this:

 

Name: name example

Website: www.website.com

Phone: phone number example

Location: location example

Position: position example

Contact Method: E-Mail

Price Range: $0 - $250

Project Length: Within One Week

Required Content: Array

Message: message example

 

Form Code on Contact.html Page:

</table>
                </form>

 

 

And here is the Contact.php Code:

 

<?php
// Website Contact Form Generator  

// get posted data into local variables
$to = "[email protected]";
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject'])); 
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));  
$Website = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Website'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone']));
$Location = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Location']));
$ContactMethod = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['ContactMethod']));
$Position = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Position']));
$PriceRange = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['PriceRange']));
$ProjectLength = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['ProjectLength']));
$RequiredContent = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['RequiredContent']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Website: ";
$Body .= $Website;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Location: ";
$Body .= $Location;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Position: ";
$Body .= $Position;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Contact Method: ";
$Body .= $ContactMethod;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Price Range: ";
$Body .= $PriceRange;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Project Length: ";
$Body .= $ProjectLength;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Required Content: ";
$Body .= $RequiredContent;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=ok.htm\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}

?>

 

If anybody could help me to get the Checkbox options sent on 1 line in the Email body ($RequiredContent) section, i'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi,

 

I'm not an expert, so hope this helps

 

I see that you are using a variable name RequiredContent[] in the middle of your HTML. If " RequiredContent[]" is to be elements of an array, then I would assume you would need to switch into <?php echo $RequiredContent[]; ?> to make the variable work - else you would be overwriting the name/value pair and you would only get the last name/value pair posted.

Since the check box group is an array, you have to iterate through the array to get the selections. Example:

$RequiredContent_arr = $_POST['RequiredContent'];
$RequiredContent_str='';
  if(!empty($aDoor)) 
  {
    $N = count($RequiredContent_arr);

    for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
    {
$RequiredContent_str=. $RequiredContent_arr[$i].",";
    }
  }

Your values for RequiredContent will be recieved as an array, and will need to be converted for a string to include in the email.

 

$RequiredContent  = implode(",",$_POST['RequiredContent']);

 

Your solution worked! I just changed the string in the "Contact.php" page that read:

$RequiredContent = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['RequiredContent']));

 

to this:

 

$RequiredContent  = implode(", ",$_POST['RequiredContent']);

 

Thanks a lot!
