my accept agreement doesnt show up in mail anymore

[kimikai]

Got most of my form done and everything works perfectly...but since i set all values to be returned after error it seems like it wont read the error for my checkbox anymore, and it doesnt show in my mail anymore either (before it would be "Accept: on") does anyone know how this is possible? cuz i believe theres nothing wrong about my code...

 

Error check for the checkbox 'akkoord'

	if (!empty($_POST['akkoord'])) {
		$akkoord = $_POST['akkoord'];
		} else {
		$error .= "- U moet akkoord gaan met de voorwaarden voordat u het bericht kunt versturen. <br />";}
	}

This is to set it should send the info (aka it has been ticked) within the mail

$message .= 'Akkoord:   ' .$akkoord . "\n";

And this is the HTML for the checkbox:

      <input type="checkbox" name="akkoord" id="akkoord" />
      <label for="akkoord">Ik ga akkoord met de voorwaarden</label> 

Just in case something else is wrong and wants to check the full code ill add it as an attachment

test.php

This is not quite right

<input type="checkbox" name="akkoord" id="akkoord" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['akkoord'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?> />">

The php code should be outside of the value

<input type="checkbox" name="akkoord" id="akkoord" value="Ja" <?php if(isset($_POST['akkoord'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?> />

is that all thats bothering it, cuz w/o the echo it didnt work either...

You say the checkbox value is not being set in the message. This is because with your original code no value is being set for that checkbox.   checked="checked"  is not the value, it is an attribute to mark the checkbox as checked when the form is reloaded again if your form did not pass validation.

 

My code sets a value for the checkbox (  value="Ja"  ) Ja should show up next to  Akkoord:  in the message

ahhh okay, now i get you haha

darn really need to get more comfortable with php

 

thnx for the amazing help

[kimikai]

nope still not working, i literally copied your code and replaced mine with it.

and indeed it does keep the checkbox ticked now when form submission fails...

 

but im still having the same trouble with the rest as before,

It still doesnt show the error set for "akkoord" at the top with the rest of the errors, basically now it doesnt matter whether or not i check the box or not, it sends the form anyway.

and the value set for it still doesnt show up in the mail...

im really at a loss for whats wrong

 

I also tried the code without the echo for the checkbox but it gives me the same results

you can send it w/ or w/o checking the box and the value wont show on the mail

Just curious what's .= do? The dot before? Also seen :: ??

[Ch0cu3r]

Gone through your code and their is a closing brace out of place. The } on line 160 should be on line 136. This is what is causing the value of akkoord and many other fields to not be included in the message.

 

 

 

Just curious what's .= do?

it is the concatenation assignment operator.

 

 

 

Also seen :: ??

it is for accessing a static method/property within a class. It is mainly used in OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
