values of multiselect checkbox from a form

[phpusr]

Hi all!,
In my HTML form I have a multiple select checkbox as below (along with other controls)

---

<label for="check1" class="fleft">Villa <strong>Type A</strong></label> <input name="vtype[]" id="check1" value="Type A" type="checkbox" tabindex="8"/><br />
<label for="check2" class="fleft">Villa <strong>Type B</strong></label> <input name="vtype[]" id="check2" value="Type B" type="checkbox" tabindex="9" /><br />
<label for="check3" class="fleft">Villa <strong>Type C</strong></label> <input name="vtype[]" id="check3" value="Type C" type="checkbox" tabindex="10" /><br />

---

The problem is I cannot get the selected values to the form handler (php file)

The handler goes like this:
<?php
import_request_variables("gP");
$msgc= "Message from \n";
$msgc .= "Name:\t$name\n";
............
$viltype={$_POST[‘vtype’]};
$msgc .= "I am interested in type:\t$viltype\n";
$mheaderc .= "Reply to: $email\n";

				mail("[e-mail]","Send me Additional Information",$msgc,$mheaderc);
				...........
		 ?>

What am I doing wrong here? Hope you wizards will definitely have a clue.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Isn't it the ID rather than the name that you need to set to 'vtype[]' for the <input tag?

ie.

<input name="vtype[]" id="vtype[]" value="Type A" type="checkbox" tabindex="8"/>

btw, you need to be aware, I belive your script (if thats all of it) is open to email injection in the headers

Thanks a million Dougal..that worked. Very silly of me failing to notice that. Thanks again.
