Ho John, I put each check box with name & tried to get the values as I get of Name, etc. Somehow it didn't send that info so, now I tried to get the info of the whole TABLE named "InterestedNumber"(which contains all check boxes) <? //////after all codes////
$mailBody .= "Full Name:       $name\n";
... $mailBody .= "Company Info: $Company Info\n"; $mailBody .= "Interested Numbers: $InterestedNumber\n"; $mailBody .= "Interested Area: $InterestedArea\n"; $mailBody .= "Comments: $comments\n\n\n"; $mailBody .= "$todaytime"; /////// THIS is where I put in the check box//// How ever the main problem for me is "Interested Numbers: $InterestedNumber\n"; part where I have no clue what "\n" stands for OR why is it repeated in the "Comments" section. The page is http://www.primarywave.com/BrokerOutpost_Contact.htm you can see the source code if you like. Thanks a lot for the input, C
The "\n" is just a new line. Your checkboxes are all named things like "1-877-HOMECASH" and "1-877-APPLY NOW", so '$InterestedNumber' isn't going to have any of their values. You probably want to move into the relm of array's. For each one of your checkboxes, you can do this... <input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-HOMECASH"> <input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-APPLY NOW"> So on, and so forth. By naming them in this way, it will pass the value to your form processor as a numerical array of all the selected items. When you want to process it, just loop thru the array. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
