select box in formmail

[danville]

I have a simple form mail script using "mail("example")". everything is working except for the select box. When the form is submitted everything seems to be ok, no errors. When I recieve the mail I get "Array" where the information from the select box should be. Can anyone help me here?

Are you using something like this ?

<SELECT NAME=select_box[]>

and then referencing the variable like this ?

echo $select_box;

or ...

echo $_POST['select_box']

If so, try referencing your variable like this ...

echo $_POST['select_box'][0];

I am using...
<?
$to="user@address";
$select_box=$_POST['select_box'];
$message="$email\n$select_box\n";
if(mail($to,"subject",$message,"From:$email\n")){
echo"message was sent";
}else{
echo"there was a problem sending message";
}
?>

your code is bad

I am using... 
<? 
$to="user@address"; 
$select_box=$_POST['select_box']; 
$message="$email\n$select_box\n"; 
if(mail($to,"subject",$message,"From:$email\n")){ 
echo"message was sent"; 
}else{ 
echo"there was a problem sending message"; 
} 
?>

you had "$select_box=$POST[select_box']; "
should be "$select_box=$POST['select_box']; "

It is like that I just typed it wrong.

I figured this one out, thanks for the help!

I used this code to fix it...

<?
$to="user@address";
$select_box=$_POST['select_box'];
$count=count($select_box);
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
$content_select_box=$select_box[$i];
}
$message="$email\n$content_select_box\n";
if(mail($to,"subject",$message,"From:$email\n")){
echo"message was sent";
}else{
echo"there was a problem sending message";
}
?>
