Spacing out check boxes

[drummel]

Okay so I have been able to pass values for multiple check boxes using this code:

<?
$number=count($pets);
for($a=0;$a<=$number;$a++){

echo $pets[$a];

}
?>

My results show this:
dogdog1dog2

What I would like to show is this when it echoes so therefore there is some seperation for the values. Thanks

dog,dog1,dog2

Thats easy, you can echo like this...

<?
$number=count($pets);

for($a=0;$a<=$number;$a++){
echo "$pets[$a]<br>";

}
?>

that would put it on different lines... this would put it coma and a space between each: echo "$pets[$a], ";

Hope this helps, but read up on the echo feature, or the print feature, 🙂

that would print out

dog, dog1, dog2,

with a comma at the end.

Since $pets is an array, you can use a foreach loop. To get it to print the commas properly, use the following:

$i = "0";

foreach($pets as $value) {

   if($i == "0") {
       echo $value;
   else {
       echo ", " . $value;
   }

$i = "1";

}

If it's important, you can also run the string through a few manipulations to remove the uncessary last comma. Like a substr whose lenght is determined by a strlen

Okay, so that definately helped. Now on to the next issue. After the boxes are checked they are sent via email . In my message it looks like this:

$message = <<<EOD
USER REQUEST FORM
Access to Which Pets:$HTTP_POST_VARS[Pets]

EOD;

I am using the $HTTP_POST_VARS for the rest of my form and it works well for the radio buttons and text areas, but how do you make it work with an array?

Thanks again

What exactly are you wanting? "how do you make it work with arrays?" What work with arrays? Printing out the value, or sending it via email or what?

Sorry, after I read what I had written it doesn't seem very clear.

Here is my setup.

I have a webform that has text boxes, radio buttons and now check boxes.

What I would like is when the check boxes are checked their values are sent via email along with everything else. This is my code so far on the PHP side of things. You'll notice under section 2 is where I am trying to pass the array for the check boxes.

Modules:$HTTP_POST_VARS[$module[$a]<br>]

To give you an idea of my experience, I am two weeks into using PHP

<?

$message = <<<EOD
USER REQUEST FORM

==> SECTION 1: USER INFORMATION

What to do with the user: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Mode]
Users Name: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Users_Name]
Company: Northstar-at-Tahoe
Department: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Department]
Phone: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Phone_Prefix]-$HTTP_POST_VARS[Phone_Ext]
Voice Mail: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Voice_Mail]
Manager: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Manager]
Managers Email: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Email_Address]

==> SECTION 2: JDEDWARDS

		 Users Class:$HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_JDEdwards]

Access to Which Modules:$HTTP_POST_VARS[$module[$a]<br>]

==> SECTION 3: CSS

	   Employee Code: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Employee_Code]
	  Security Level: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Security_Level]

==> SECTION 4: KRONOS TIME KEEPER

	Kronos Department: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Kronos_Department]
		   User Class: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Kronos]

==> SECTION 5: NOVELL NETWORK

Similar Network Access as: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Novell_Department]
Network Password: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Network_Password]

==> SECTION 6: EMAIL/INTERNET REQUEST

Does Employee Require Email:$HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Email]
Does Employees Computer Require E-Mail Program Installation :$HTTP_POST_VARS[Required_Email_Program]
If YES Explain:$HTTP_POST_VARS[Email_Explain]
Does Employee Require Internet Access: $HTTP_POST_VARS[Internet_Access]

==> SECTION 7: RESORT POS

Which Modules ?:$HTTP_POST_VARS[RTP]
Will this employee be responsible for closing the register at the end of the day?$HTTP_POST_VARS[Close_RTP]

EOD;

Then I have the headers for the email to go to the right person. As you can tell I am using $HTTP_POST_VARS for the responses from the web form.

So my question is this how do I pass the value(s) from the check box to my email set up above.

I can send you my web form as well to get an idea of what I have created. Thanks for taking care of a newbie 🙂
