question regarding phpmailer

[TymArtist]

Does anyone use phpmailer? I'm attempted to find a way in which to email checkbox data in a foreach loop, but when it's done within the $mail->body area it runs into an unexpected foreach loop. Looking for a solution to this problem.

Also, I had been researching the best way to store checkbox (array) data in a database, and came across the solution that a) you could use a separate table or b) the implode/exploe functions seem to work rather well. Any opinions from you guys?

Thanks in advance.

I use PHPMailer pretty extensively and haven't run into any problems. Can you post the bit of code that is giving you problems?

As for the storing of checkbox information is probably better to store it in a seperate table for easy searchability later. If all the values of the checkboxes are in one field in the database it will be rather difficult to sort through them

stas,

I'm just trying to figure out how to send checkboxes using phpmailer. Would you be able to provide me with the code to do so? It seems like you should be able to use a foreach loop.

Let's say you have a checkbox named 'check[]' that was posted to your form, the following should do it:

<?php
    require_once "class/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php";

$checkboxes = $_POST["check"];

$body = "";

//Loop through each checkbox value and append it to the body
foreach($checkboxes as $check) {
    $body .= $check . "\n";
}

//Instate PHPMailer
$mail = new phpmailer();

//Where's it coming from?
$mail->From = "[e-mail]";

//Who's it going to?
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");

//Attach the body
$mail->Body = $body;

//Send it already!
$mail->send();
?>

Note: The square brackets on the end of the checkbox name are imperative
