Question about passing multiple checkbox variables in form to display
Question about passing multiple checkbox variables in form to display
am 04.12.2007 22:45:42 von ATDave
So basically I'm just creating a form that I want the results e-mailed
to somebody. I have everything working except for the checkmark
sections that can have multiple answers. I'm a newbie when it comes
to PHP, so please be easy :)
So to show an example:
value="Self Confidence" />
value="Hair Make up" />
value="Poise Posture" />
value="Interview Skills" />
This is the checkbox options a user has. So on my confirmation page I
create the variable:
When I get the e-mail, it only displays "Array". Say a user checks
the first three options, how can I pass all three and print it out in
the e-mail?

For a really simple array print use either print_r() or var_dump(). For
a more sophisticated result you would have to loop through the array and
print out the values yourself in the way you like.

Thanks for the quick response. I don't know how to write the code for
an array, but I did try a couple things based on some
searching...unfortunately they did not work. I would assume I have to
do a loop through the array to print out the values...but should those
get assigned to more variables (one for each option) so that I can
actually pass them through in the e-mail?

It would help to post some code and say what did not work.

No variables needed, just a simple foreach loop and a little sanity
check. Something like:
if (isset($_POST['SelfDevelopmentInterest']) &&
is_array($_POST['SelfDevelopmentInterest'])) {
foreach ($_POST['SelfDevelopmentInterest'] as $value) {
// print out your stuff the way you like
print $value;
...
}
}
