Hi, > I am not sure how I should me sending the checkbox name and variables > and then how to actually insert the email addresses using the mail > command. Is there a better way than using a checkbox? If you have a HTML form with a list of email addresses to send to you might want the code to look something like: <input type='checkbox' name='sendTo[]' value='user1@domain.com' /> User 1<br /> <input type='checkbox' name='sendTo[]' value='user2@domain.com' /> User 2<br /> <input type='checkbox' name='sendTo[]' value='user3@domain.com' /> User 3<br /> Now in the resulting PHP code (assuming that you're using >= PHP v4.1.x and using METHOD="get" in the form) you should find $_GET['sendTo'] is an array of email addresses they ticked. Just add them as mail headers (you can find simple instructions on the http://www.php.net/mail page in the user comments). If METHOD="post" then use $_POST, and if an old version of PHP is being used then use $HTTP_POST_VARS / $HTTP_GET_VARS. -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd
