I'm building a registration form that allows the user to enter some basic information, select the program that they're registering for, then enter the number of attendees for that particular program. The form will make sure that they've entered an email address. (and, later, it will make sure that they've provided a correct answer to a ReCaptcha once I've set one up) If they have, the form results will be emailed to the site owner and a generic "thank you!" message will be generated for the user if the email has been successful.

 

What I'm trying to figure out is how to tell PHP to examine the array of checkboxes that correspond to the programs, and, if it finds that one is checked, to then look at the corresponding "attendees" box and output the number of attendees for that program.

 

I don't really know PHP, so all the code I've got so far is pretty much a hodgepodge of code from various tutorials. I apologize for the mess.

 

<?php
function spamcheck($field)
  {
  //filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail
  //address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL
  $field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

  //filter_var() validates the e-mail
  //address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
  if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
    {
    return TRUE;
    }
  else
    {
    return FALSE;
    }
  }
  
  if (isset($_REQUEST['regemail']))
  
  {//if "email" is filled out, proceed

  //check if the email address is invalid
  $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['regemail']);
  if ($mailcheck==FALSE)
    {
    echo "Invalid email address. Please re-enter and try again.";
    }
  else
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //Header information
  
  $subject = $name." Registration";
  $email = "email@email.com" ; 
  
  //send email
  $name = $_POST['Name'] ;
  $organization = $_POST['Organization'] ;
  $street = $_POST['Street'] ;
  $city = $_POST['Street'] ;
  $state = $_POST['State'] ;
  $zip = $_POST['Zip'] ;
  $phone = $_POST['Phone'] ;
  $fax = $_POST['Fax'] ;
  $regemail = $_POST['Email'] ;
  $project= implode(",",$_POST['project']);
  
$attendees= array('$p1attend','$p2attend','$p3attend','$p4attend','$YLTattend');

foreach($attendees as $guests) {
  echo $guests, ' ';    
} 


	$p1attend= $_POST['P1-attendees'];
	$p2attend= $_POST['P2-attendees'];
	 $p3attend= $_POST['P3-attendees'];
	 $p4attend= $_POST['P4-attendees'];
	 $YLTattend= $_POST['YLT-attendees'];

 $message= $name." is registering for ".$project.". There are ".$guests."
 \nOrganization (If Applicable): " .$organization.
"\nEmail Address: ".$regemail."
\nMailing Address: ".$street." \t".$city."\t".$state."\t".$zip.
"\nPhone Number: ".$phone."\nFax: ".$fax.

  mail($email, $subject, $message);
  }
  }
?>

here is some code to loop over your checked projects and for each one that is checked will output the value of the checkbox and the corresponding attendees

 

foreach($_POST['project'] as $project) {
    // $project = whatever is in the value attr e.g. P1,P2,P3
    // $_POST[$project . '-attendees'] = e.g. $_POST['P1-attendees'] = what ever you enter into the attendee input
    echo $project . ' - ' . $_POST[$project . '-attendees'] . '<br />';
}

Your code may be a bit of a hodgepodge but I've certainly seen far worse. Keep at it and you get the hang in no time

Thanks!

 

I tested the form on the site; even though I turned on error reporting in the PHP file, all I'm getting is a blank page after I hit "submit, and nothing is being sent to my inbox. Any suggestions?

 

<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);

function spamcheck($field)
  {
  //filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail
  //address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL
  $field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

  //filter_var() validates the e-mail
  //address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
  if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
    {
    return TRUE;
    }
  else
    {
    return FALSE;
    }
  }
  
  if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
  
  {//if "email" is filled out, proceed

  //check if the email address is invalid
  $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']);
  if ($mailcheck==FALSE)
    {
    echo "Invalid email address. Please re-enter and try again.";
    }
  else
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //Header information
  
  $subject = $name." Registration";
  $email = "email@email.com" ; 
  
  //send email
  $name = $_POST['Name'] ;
  $organization = $_POST['Organization'] ;
  $street = $_POST['Street'] ;
  $city = $_POST['Street'] ;
  $state = $_POST['State'] ;
  $zip = $_POST['Zip'] ;
  $phone = $_POST['Phone'] ;
  $fax = $_POST['Fax'] ;
  $regemail = $_POST['Email'] ;

foreach($_POST['project'] as $project) {
    // $project = whatever is in the value attr e.g. P1,P2,P3
    // $_POST[$project . '-attendees'] = e.g. $_POST['P1-attendees'] = what ever you enter into the attendee input
    echo $project . ' - ' . $_POST[$project . '-attendees'] . '<br />';
}

	 $message= $name." is registering for ".$project."
 \nOrganization (If Applicable): " .$organization."
 \nEmail Address: ".$regemail."
\nMailing Address: ".$street." \t ".$city." \t ".$state." \t ".$zip."
\nPhone Number: ".$phone."\nFax: ".$fax.

  mail($email, $subject, $message);
  
  echo 'Thank you for registering for a BLCE program!';  
  }
  }
?>
