PHP checkbox array/email?

PHP
1

Hello,

I am pretty new to php. I know how to do normal input fields and radio buttons, but not checkboxes. I can get it to pass one of the values from the checkboxes, but once i select more than one it does not work.

Here is snippets of the code I have.

The actual form (request.php)


<form method="POST" action="cforms/mark_p.php">

...

<br>Check all that apply:
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="completeset">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="companyintro">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="commprintbrochure">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="commprintflyer">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="digprintbrochure">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="concealbrochure">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="largeformat">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="portablebanner">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="directmailflyer">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxone[]" value="directimageflyer">

...

<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

mark_p.php


<?php


while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($checkboxone)) {
echo "$val,";
} 

$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "test@test.com";
$Subject = "testsite.com - Request Marketing Pack";
$checkboxone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['checkboxone'])); 

...

?>

Thanks ahead of time for any help!

nevermind found a work around!

foreach($_POST['formmanufac'] as $value) {
$formmanufac_msg .= "Checked: $value\
";
}

//body of email 

$Body .= "Forms Manufacturing: ";
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= $formmanufac_msg;
$Body .= "\
";

Thanks Siric. I seem to still be having a problem with the checkboxes.

Should that code be going into the request.php or mark_p.php? Keep in mind I want this value to pass through into the email.

I put it in mark_p.php and its still not working.

<?php

$formmanufac = $_POST['formmanufac'];  // <------ You forgot this line



while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($formmanufac)) {

    echo "val - $val<br/>";

} 


$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "drew@test.com";
$Subject = "test.com - Sample Request";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Company = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company'])); 
$Street = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Street'])); 
$Street2 = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Street2'])); 
$City = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['City'])); 
$State = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['State'])); 
$Zip = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Zip'])); 
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone'])); 
$Website = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Website'])); 
$formmanufac = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['formmanufac'])); 
$commprint = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['commprint'])); 
$digitaloffset = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['digitaloffset'])); 
$largeformat = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['largeformat'])); 
$otherprinted = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['otherprinted'])); 
$howdidyouhear = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['howdidyouhear'])); 
$otherhear = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['otherhear'])); 
$mailinglist = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['mailinglist'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=error.php\\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Company: ";
$Body .= $Company;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Street: ";
$Body .= $Street;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Street2: ";
$Body .= $Street2;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "City: ";
$Body .= $City;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "State: ";
$Body .= $State;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Zip: ";
$Body .= $Zip;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "Website: ";
$Body .= $Website;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "formmanufac: ";
$Body .= $formmanufac;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "commprint: ";
$Body .= $commprint;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "digitaloffset: ";
$Body .= $digitaloffset;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "largeformat: ";
$Body .= $largeformat;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "otherprinted: ";
$Body .= $otherprinted;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "howdidyouhear: ";
$Body .= $howdidyouhear;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "otherhear: ";
$Body .= $otherhear;
$Body .= "\
";
$Body .= "mailinglist: ";
$Body .= $mailinglist;
$Body .= "\
";

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=thanks.php\\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=error.php\\">";
}
?>

You forgot to read the POSTed variable


<?

$checkboxone = $_POST['checkboxone'];  // <------ You forgot this line

while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($checkboxone)) {
	echo "val - $val<br/>";
} 

......
?>
