?'s About Checkboxes

[gunhoe86]

I'm trying to build a script where a user can select one or more checkboxes and the script sends them info about whatever they selected via email. I'd like to have the info to be mailed in a db, but how can I use checkboxes to select which info gets mailed?

Every object in a form, such as a checkbox, has a name (well, you should give it one anyway).
That name becomes a set variable once a user has checked it.

If you give seperate checkboxes seperate names, you'll know what was checked by the user by checking the contents of the variables like for instance:

if (isset($box1)) {
do this...
} else {
do that..
}

Or you can use 'Case', check php.net, read all about it! 🙂

Maybe you have to put this values into an array while using this as name for your checkboxes : checkbox_name[]

all values are autom. stored in a array. After combining them in to one string you can save all this values in to aone field of a database.
