Need help with a Form! NOT a experienced with PHP Please help!!!

jmanley0704 · June 21, 2011

I am not a scriptor at all I am trying to get my husband's painting website up and running on Godaddy webhosting. I have a form that is requesting some information it includes a Project section which has several checkboxes it allows potential customers to select what type of job(s) they have (ie, interior,exterior, decks, etc) So the problem is when I recieve the email from the form submission the only information I get back from the checkbox selections is "array" I know I need to modify the PHP Script to gather the checkbox info but I have no idea what how to write it and where to insert it in the code... I should mention that Godaddy makes you use their script its called GDForm.php The HTML and PHP code is below. If someone could help me I would be sooooo Grateful I am a Systems Adminstrator so this is really bugging me!!!!

Since it's sweet that you're doing this for your husband, I'll try and help :-* The problem is that Project is an array denoted by the [] in the form. Try changing this:

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars))
   {
      fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\r\n");
      fputs($fp,"$val\r\n");
      fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\r\n");
      if ($key == "redirect")
      {
         $landing_page = $val;
      }
   }

To this:

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars))
   {
      // begin inserted code
      if(is_array($val))
      {
         $val = implode(', ', $val);
      }
      // end inserted code

      fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\r\n");
      fputs($fp,"$val\r\n");
      fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\r\n");
      if ($key == "redirect")
      {
         $landing_page = $val;
      }
   }
