Hey everyone, just need a little help here. First time really getting into PHP, and I'm trying to make a simple form. One part of the form is a set of checkboxes. The name of the field is called "services" and options are thus:
Monitored
Network
License Management
Backup Server
Backup Agent
My html code looks like this:
<form method="post" action="billingadjustment.php">
Services:<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Monitored">
Monitored <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Network" >
Network<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="License Management" >
License Management <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Backup Server">
Backup Server <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="services[]" value="Backup Agent">
Backup Agent <br>
The php code looks like this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "myemailaddress@domain.com";
$subject = "Billing Adjustment Request";
$requestor = $_POST['requestor'];
foreach($_POST['services'] as $servicesbox) {
$services .= "Services: $servicesbox\n";
}
$body = "From: $requestor\n $services";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.html");
} else {
echo "blarg!";
}
?>
I was just using some code I got out of a book, and it seems to work but just a couple problems. It gets sent to my email address, and the ouput for the checkboxes looks like this:
ArrayServices: Monitored
Services: Network
Services: License Management
Question 1: How do I get it to not put the word "array" in front of the first option.
Question 2: I would like it to just output the word "Services" once, then maybe put all the options that were chosen after it, maybe separated with commas or something. I know that probably has to do with the "foreach" command I'm using, but I don't know how to fix it.
So I guess I want it to come out looking something like this:
Services: Monitored, Network, License Management
Any help?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Nevermind guys! I should have just thought about it a bit before I asked you all. I changed this bit of code:
<?php
$to = "myemailaddress@domain.com";
$subject = "Billing Adjustment Request";
$requestor = $_POST['requestor'];
foreach($_POST['services'] as $servicesbox) {
$services .= "Services: $servicesbox\n";
}?>
I added a variable called services, and did this:
$to = "natepacker@gmail.com";
$subject = "Billing Adjustment Request";
$requestor = $_POST['requestor'];
$services = "Services: ";
foreach($_POST['services'] as $servicesbox) {
$services .= "$servicesbox, ";
}?>
Works just the way I want it to now! Only, I still don't get why it was putting the word "Array" in front of it before.
Thanks!
