How do i get checkboxes to email?

[JohneeMac]

Hi there.

How do i get checkbox values sent to my email account?

I have other variables that send fine like name, email etc and the mail () function works fine.

I would like to get checkboxes working though.

I have 6 activities such as quad biking, off road driving etc and how can i send these names if selected to my email account?

Thanks for your time.

This probs sounds really basic but do you have the values set fot the checkboxes?

Unchecked checkboxes have the value off, and checked have the value on. You do not need to define any values in the actual <input type="checkbox" etc> tag.

In the $subject, or whatever use this:

[code]
if($checkbox_variable == "on"){
echo "Checkbox: Yes";}
else{
echo "Checkbox: No";
}
[/code]

Or replace Yes/No with whatever the checkbox is concerning...

Hope it helps.

Is there a cleaner method without all the "if" and "else" statements?

I currently have 6 options but might be expanding them.

Thanks for replies so far.

No, but if there is only one option you care about ie wether the checkbox is checked, then echo Checkbox: Yes, but if it isnt checked, then dont display anything you could just do

[code]
if($checkbox_variable == "on"){
echo "Checkbox: Yes";}
[/code]

...with no else statement

Thats about as short as it gets


Try it.
