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.
<td align="center"><h4>Portrait Packages</h4>
<!--Please select the package(s) you wish to purchase.--></td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="package[]" value="bronze"> Bronze - $62.95<br>

In your email body, you would do something like this:
$body .= "Portrait Packages\
===========\
".implode("\
", (array) $_POST['package'])."\
\
";
$body .= "Additional Prints with Package Purchase\
===========\
".implode("\
", (array) $_POST['print'])."\
\
";
If you want to retrieve the individual check boxes, you can do print_r($_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.
$body = "We have received the following information:\
\
"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\
",$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?
