Good morning, gentlemen (and ladies) My name is Petr Vlosek and I have a serious problem. I am a PHP beginner (that's not the problem yet:) and I try to send some data from a form onto my email address with the mail() command. I have two files with php3 extension. In the first one there is a form which contains textbox, memo and checkbox. When a user presses SUBMIT, the second file is called, makes the data validation and sends the data in a mail to my address. For the textbox, no problem. For the memo, no problem. But the checkbox (called b001) doesn't work, dunno why. If anyone helps me to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful. Here are parts of the codes: file 1 <? echo " <form method=\"POST\" name=\"Boys_form\" action=\"boysselectsend.php3\"> <table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"> <tr> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"right\"><div align=\"right\"><p><label for=\"fp1\">Type your name in here, please:&nbsp;&nbsp; </label></td> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"left\"><div align=\"left\"><p>&nbsp; <input type=\"text\" name=\"Name\" value=\"$Name\" size=\"20\" id=\"fp1\"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"right\"><div align=\"right\"><p><label for=\"fp1\">Type your e-mail address in here, please:&nbsp;&nbsp; </label></td> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"left\"><div align=\"left\"><p>&nbsp; <input type=\"text\" name=\"EmailAddress\" value=\"$EmailAddress\" size=\"20\" id=\"fp1\"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"right\"><label for=\"fp1\">Type your comment in here, please: &nbsp;&nbsp; </label></td> <td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"left\">&nbsp; <textarea rows=\"5\" name=\"Comment\" value=\"$Comment\" cols=\"20\"></textarea></td> </tr> </table> <div align=\"left\"><p>&nbsp;</p> </div><table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"> <tr> <td width=\"10%\" align=\"center\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"b001\" value=\"$b001\"> 001</td> <td width=\"10%\" align=\"center\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"b002\" value=\"$b002\"> 002</td> </tr> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div align=\"center\"><center><p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" name=\"Submit_btn\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type=\"reset\" value=\"Reset\" name=\"Reset_btn\"></p> </center></div> </form> "; ?> file 2 <? $Email = "vlosek@atlas.cz"; $Message = "Answer"; if (Mail("$Email", "$Name $Message", "Name: $Name Email address: $EmailAddress 001: $b001 ", "From: $EmailAddress")): echo "<br><p align=\"center\"><font color=\"GREEN\"><big><big>Success.</big></big></font></p>"; else: echo "<br><p align=\"center\"><font color=\"RED\"><big><big>Failure.</big></big></font></p>"; endif; echo "<br><div align=\"center\"><a href='index.htm'>Back to Main Page</a></div>"; ?> Will anyone help me, please? Thank you in advance. Petr Vlosek
