Posting Checkbox Array Comes Up Empty

PHP
1

The problem I’m having is that when checkboxes are checked (more than one), the message is suppose to list them in an array separated by a comma. But, when I receive the message, there is no array, just the response:

2. What are your plans for this dog? None selected

I see where ‘None selected’ comes from, but if there are checked boxes, and the statement is true, why am I not receiving them in the array?

I have the following:

$plansfordog = isset($plansfordog) ? $plansfordog : array('None selected');

$message .= ' 2. What are your plans for this dog? ' .implode(', ', $plansfordog). "\\r\
\\r\
";

<input type="checkbox" name="plansfordog[]" value="Member of the family" id="familymember" <?php
			$OK = isset($_POST['plansfordog']) ? true : false;
			if ($OK && isset($error) && in_array('Member of the Family', $_POST['plansfordog'])) { ?> checked="checked"
			<?php } ?> />
<label for="familymember">Member of the family</label><br />

<input type="checkbox" name="plansfordog[]" value="Pet" id="pet" <?php
			if ($OK && isset($error) && in_array('Pet', $_POST['plansfordog'])) { ?> checked="checked"
			<?php } ?> />
<label for="pet">Pet</label><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="plansfordog[]" value="Best Friend" id="bestfriend" <?php
			if ($OK && isset($error) && in_array('Best Friend', $_POST['plansfordog'])) { ?> checked="checked"
			<?php } ?> />
			<label for="bestfriend">Best Friend</label><br />

Thank you for looking at this for me.

You should be checking for $_POST[‘plansfordog’] existing, not $plansfordog

But isn’t that what I have here:

<?php
$OK = isset($_POST[‘plansfordog’]) ? true : false;
if ($OK && isset($error) && in_array(‘Member of the Family’, $_POST[‘plansfordog’])) { ?> checked=“checked”
<?php } ?>

I’m talking about your PHP code at the top, which produces the output you wanted to change. It is only looking at $plansfordog which is never set to anything.
