I am new to php,how to get input from multiple respose question?

[feifeifei]

I am new to php.
I am trying to send the completed feedback form to my e-mail box.

I can get the user input from multiple choice (one correct answer) and data entry questions.

Some multiple response questions are using checkbox, how can I get the input by PHP?

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much for your reply!!!!

The html code:

<form name="form1" method=post action="sendmail.php">
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> 1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied)?</font><br>

<select multiple size=5 name="design[]">
<option value="1" >teriable</option>
<option value="2" >poor </option>
<option value="3" > bad navigation </option>
<option value="4" > need more multimedia files </option>
<option value="5" > good </option>
</select>

The sendmail.php code:

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", "Feedback Form Results", "1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied)? $design[]");
header("Location: http://www.fly.com/thankyou.html");
?>

To pass a multiple array variable in a form you need to add square brackets to the end of your variable.

<input type=checkbox name=variable[] value='yes'>
<input type=checkbox name=variable[] value='no'>
<input type=checkbox name=variable[] value='maybe'>

on the return page:

$i=0;
while($output = $variable[$i]){
    echo $output;
    $i++;
}

This is just a small snippet as an example.

or

foreach($design as $value)
$output .= $value . ",";

[netizen]

or 🙂

$output = implode(",",$design);

THANKS FOR YOU ALL!!!

Is it right like this? Sorry, I am absolutely new. So I have to confirm with you all.

<form name="form1" method=post action="sendmail.php">
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> 1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied)?</font><br>
<select multiple size=5 name="design">
<option value="1" name=variable[] >teriable</option>
<option value="2" name=variable[] >poor </option>
<option value="3" name=variable[] > bad navigation </option>
<option value="4" name=variable[] > need more mutimedia files </option>
<option value="5" name=variable[] > good </option>
</select>

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", "Feedback Form Results", "1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied):". "\n";

$i=0;
while($output = $variable[$i]){
echo $output;
$i++;
});

header("Location: http://www.fly.com/thankyou.html");
?>

Sorry for all who have helped me. I have to disturb you again. I tried your code, which is absolutely correct, I believe. However, maybe I put it at the wrong place. The output in my e-mail box is still only one answer that is the last one I selected no matter how many I chose. So I have to put code again to ask help.

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.

The feedback.html code:

<form name="form1" method=post action="sendmail.php">
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> 1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied)?</font><br>
<select multiple size=5 name="design">
<option value="1" name=variable[] >teriable</option>
<option value="2" name=variable[] >poor </option>
<option value="3" name=variable[] > bad navigation </option>
<option value="4" name=variable[] > need more mutimedia files </option>
<option value="5" name=variable[] > good </option>
</select>

The sendmail.php code:

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", "Feedback Form Results", "1. How do you think the design of this site(select all applied):$i=0;
while($output = $variable[$i]){
echo $output;
$i++;
}
");
header("Location: http://www.fly.com/thankyou.html");
?>

$i=0;

   $message .= $output."\n"; 
   $i++; 
}

mail("[e-mail]", "Feedback Form Results", $message);

You were trying to make an array of the options and the select variable. Also putting the loop inside mail command would have most likely created an error.

Hi, Netizen,

Thanks a lot for your kindness. But I still cannot get the right result!😕

[netizen]

change $variable to $design. That was a left-over from the previous code. I tested it, it works. Though you may want to change the values to textual responses rather than numeric. If you want the email to quickly understood.

[feifeifei]

It is working now.

Thanks very much indeed!
