Display Selected checkbox on form submit

[MVerminski]

I'm trying to create an email submisison form. I'm getting all of the text and number fields to show up fine in the e-mail I received after submitting the form. However, I have three groups of checkboxes and another single check box that wil not return results in the e-mail.

I used

$field = array();

to display the text/number fields. I tried a few different ways to display the checkbox, but to no avail.

Can u paste the HTML for the checkboxes.

In your email body, you would do something like this:

$body .= "Portrait Packages\n===========\n".implode("\n", (array) $_POST['package'])."\n\n";
$body .= "Additional Prints with Package Purchase\n===========\n".implode("\n", (array) $_POST['print'])."\n\n"; 

If you want to retrieve the individual check boxes, you can do print_r($_POST['package']) to see which were checked.

One thing I would recommend changing is the value="" to the human friendly version, like instead of

value="three_by_five" change it to value="Four 3x5's - $16.00"

Thank you, that did the trick. I have another question. I want to rearrange the submission e-mail. The way it is right now in the e-mail I receive I have to list all of the $fields before the $body. I want to arrange how the e-mail appears, but I'm not sure how.

I'm assuming it has to do with this line of code, which I copied and pasted from a tutorial.

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){     $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); } 

The top of the e-mail says "We have received the following information" which is perfect. I'm assuming because the fields array is called first is the reason I have to list all of those before the $body which is called second. Is there a way to split up the field arrays around the $body?
