Emailing forms

[Tomatron]

Hi there

    Relatively new to php, started using it to send forms recently, having some trouble sending a collection of checkboxe. They have been created from a piece of javascript which unfortunatly give thm all the same name. so when an email is sent it only sends the last checkbox vreated, how would i get it to send all of the checkboxes?

 

Many Thanks!!

If the script to send the email can handle a POST value that is an array, you can use square brackets in the checkbox name, like:

<input type="checkbox" name="field1[]" value="1" /> 1
<input type="checkbox" name="field1[]" value="2" /> 2
<input type="checkbox" name="field1[]" value="3" /> 3

 

Otherwise, each checkbox will have to have it's own name

<input type="checkbox" name="field1" /> 1
<input type="checkbox" name="field2" /> 2
<input type="checkbox" name="field3" /> 3

 

Either way, something will have to change on the form, it's not a PHP problem.

ok changed a few bits so now the checkboxes when created are named starting from '0' up to watever numer of checkboxes is created, as its a different amount each time. how would i add all the check boxes present to an email?

 

Thanks again!
