checkboxes in a form and sending to sendmail.php

[aron]

i know how to get text fields from a form to a sendmail script but how do i get checkboxs to the sendmail script.

here is my form

<form action="sendmail.php" method="post" name="form" id="form">
<p>name
<input name="name" type="text" id="name">
</p>
<p> email
<input name="name2" type="text" id="name2">
<br>
<br>
accept
<input name="accept" type="checkbox" id="accept" value="checkbox">
</p>
<p>decline
<input name="decline" type="checkbox" id="decline" value="checkbox">
</p>
</form>

here is the sendmail.php script without the checkbox stuff

<?
$body = "Name: $name\nemail: $email";
mail("[e-mail]", "info request", $body,"From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.ermgroup.com.au/s1.htm" );
?>

its just the same was as to get text box from a form

[aron]

<?
$body = "Name: $name\nemail: $email\nTest Box: $chk1\n";
mail("[e-mail]", "info request", $body,"From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.ermgroup.com.au/s1.htm" );
?>

checkbox= Test Box: $chk1\n

this should work

[bernouli]

and??? does it work? is tt a question or answer?

[aron]

when the box is umchecked it emails me this

Name: unchecked
email: [e-mail]
Test Box:

and when it is checked it emails me this

Name: checked
email: [e-mail]
Test Box: checked

is their a way to make it not show Test Box: if it hasent been checked. So if it is unchecked it send me this

Name: unchecked
email: [e-mail]

sendmail script
<?
$body = "Name: $name\nemail: $email\nTest Box: $chk1\n";
mail("[e-mail]", "info request", $body,"From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.ermgroup.com.au/testphp/testemail.htm" );
?>

see last post

[bernouli]

thats all you want, isnt it?

<input name="accept" type="checkbox" id="accept" value="checkbox">

change the value into other string

ie.

<input name="accept" type="checkbox" id="accept" value="accept">

the you'll get

Name: accept
email: [e-mail]
Test Box:

in your send.php when you check the box
