Form Field - Checkbox

[hbradshaw]

Hello:

I have a field in my form called events. I have it as an input type of checkbox because a person can select more than one event.

After the person submits the form, a confirmation email is sent out. The email only shows one of the events not all that was selected.

Any idea how to handle this kind of situation?

Thank you.

Could you show us some of the PHP script?

a basic example:

<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	echo '
	<form action="" method="POST">
	please check some checkboxes:<br>
	<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="1">#1<br>
	<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="2">#2<br>
	<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="3">#3<br>
	<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="4">#4<br>
	<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="5">#5<br>
	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
	</form>
	';
}
else
{
	if (isset($_POST['checkboxes']))
	{
		echo 'you checked the following boxes:<br><br>';
		foreach ($_POST['checkboxes'] as $value) {echo $value . '<br>';}
	}
	else
	{
		echo 'you did not check any boxes';
	}
}
?>

Hi,

Here is the script I wrote and it's bringing up a blank page.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
if (isset($_POST['event']))
{
echo 'you chose the following day(s)<br><br>';
foreach($_POST['event'] as $value) {echo $value .'<br>';}
}
else
}
{
echo 'you did not choose any days';
}
}

It helps to make ur code neat

<?php

  if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

if (isset($_POST['event'])) {

  echo "you chose the following day(s)<br><br>";

  foreach ($_POST['event'] as $value) {

    echo $value . "<br>";

  }

} else {

  echo "you did not choose any days";

}
  }

?>

Looks like it is all correct, you may want to make sure everything is spelled correctly.
