Can't post a selected value in a mail. Help needed.

[paldo]

Here the form:

<?php
session_start();
echo "<form name=\"aaaa\" method=\"post\"  action=\"order_select3.php\">";

$values[1] = "I have select item1...";
$values[2] = "I have select item2...";


function radiob( $label, $var, $values )
{
   foreach( $values AS $key => $value ) {
       if ( isset( $_SESSION["$var"] ) AND $_SESSION["$var"] == $key )
           $checked = "checked=\"checked\"";
       else
           $checked = "";
       ?><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $var;
       ?>" id="<?php echo $var;
       ?>" value="<?php echo $key;
       ?>" <?php echo $checked;
       ?>/>
<?php echo $value;

?> <br />
<?php
   }
}

radiob( "Items select" , "items" , $values );

?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="order" />

Here the response:

<?php
session_start();


$_SESSION['items'] = $_POST['items'];
$items= $_POST['items'];

?>

<?php

$values[1] = "I have select item1...";
$values[2] = "I have select item2...";

echo $values[$_SESSION['items']]; 



?> 

<input type="submit" name="submit" style="background-color:#00CC66" value=" I confirm" onClick="location.href='order_select_confirm3.php'">

<input type="submit" name="submit" style="background-color:#FF0000" value="  I change my order" onClick="location.href='order_form_select3.php'">

And here the confirm script that will send a mail with the selected value:

<?php
session_start();


$items = $_SESSION['items'];
$values[1] = "item1";
$values[2] = "item2";




$subject ="test";

$message =" you have select $items";

mail('my_mail_adress',$subject,$message);

print  "Thanks";

?>

On the mail I get the value 1 or 2, what I want is "item1"(for $value1) or "item2" (for $value2) to be printed on the mail.

I appreciate your help, thanks

Maybe?

// form -- add the double brackets after name
?><input type="radio" name="<?php echo $var;
       ?>[]" id="<?php echo $var;
       ?>" value="<?php echo $key;
       ?>" <?php echo $checked;
       ?>/> 


// confirm - put all selected values into a comman delmin string
$items = isset($_SESSION['items']) ? implode(', ',$_SESSION['items']) : '-none selected-';

Thanks Bike5, but in both cases, double brackets and implode, I get an error message.

[bike5]

which are?

[paldo]

Here the errors messages:

a) referring to the double brackets:

Warning: Illegal offset type in /var/www/web49/html/test_order/order_select3.php on line 17

b) referring to the implode function after having changed the script as follow

<?php
session_start();


$items = isset($_SESSION['items']) ? implode(', ',$_SESSION['items']) : '-none selected-';
$values[1] = "item1";
$values[2] = "item2";




$subject ="test";

$message =" you have select $items";

mail('my_email_adress',$subject,$message);

print  "Thanks";

?>

:
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /var/www/web49/html/test_order/order_select_confirm3.php on line 5

Maybe I didn't change the confirm script correctly.

Thanks for looking into it.

The error on implode means that session key was not holding an array of values like it should have been which is probably caused by the first error. I have no idea why you are getting the first error, the brackets were added in the strictly html side, not even inside php brackets so php should not be trying to read that as anything but html.

Just noticed something, you are using radio not checkboxes like I thought. Radio means only 1 can be selected in the group so if that is the case take the brackets off, name each radio the "same" name, all the radios in the same "group" have to have the same name. You can get the value back from post that same as an input field. If they don't tick a box it is possible that no value will be returned for that name so check for that with an isset too. IF you want them to select multiple boxes then change that from a radio to checkbox and leave the brackets there.
