Passing an Array that Involves Checkboxes

[psquillace]

Hello All:

 

I am trying out a php script that involves sending checkboxes that people select to a mailing service called Constant Contact. For some reason, when you check multiple arrays only one option gets sent from that array... The last one checked...

 

Can someone tell me if there is a limit an array or something like that.

 

See, the array, when called lists all checkboxes that people can check but if someone checks more than one.... it does not pass or even get emailed because I have that in the script too.

 

I would list the code here but it is 500 lines long with the HTML.....

 

Thanks for any help or insight into this,

 

Paul

The array size shouldn't be the problem.  The syntax in your input tag should be like this though "name='check[]' or whatever name you want.  But you need to have the brackets at the end.  Let me know if that helps.

well, when I call the array I have this

 

<?php

if (count($list_array) == '1') {

  echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"list_name[]\" value=\"" . $list_array[0] . "\"></td></tr>";

 

}else {

 

foreach($list_array as $list_name) {

  $list_html .= "<tr><td valign=\"top\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"list_name[]\" value=\"" . $list_name . "\"></td><td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top:6px;\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\">" . $list_name."</td></tr>";

  }

  echo "<b>Please Select Your Products of Interest:</b><br>" . $list_html;

}

 

?>

 

Do yo mean the list_name[] that i have, it should be list_name='[]' instead?

 

thanks for your help,

Thanks DarkAngel for all your help with this,

 

I was informed by the nice people at Constant Contact that they do not allow multiple sign ups with one pass of a script but only one entry per.

 

Now I have to go back and recreate this script with a foreach loop or something..... :-\

 

At least I know it was nothing in my code so that is sort of comforting, 

 

Thanks again for all your help,
