PHP Array Values Retrieval?

[jklivin]

Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting the full array of values from checkboxes on a form. They are to be sent via email. Here are portions of the code.
HTML file:

<td>
<INPUT type=checkbox value=goodFriend name=foundSiteBy[]>a really good friend<BR>
<INPUT type=checkbox value=Google name=foundSiteBy[]>Google search<BR>
<INPUT type=checkbox value=byAccident name=foundSiteBy[]>by accident<BR>
</td>
 

in the PHP file:

$siteFound = $_REQUEST['displayedchoices'];
for($i=0; $i< $siteFound; $i++)
{
$read = 'foundSiteBy'.$i;
$setvalue = $_POST[$read];
 

and sending via email with this in the PHP file:
"Found Site by: $read\n" .

But I get nothing back for foundSiteBy. I'm using _POST method. Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thank you!

Thank you!

try changing your for loop a little bit.

[PHP]$read = $_POST[foundSiteBy][$i];[/PHP]

Thank you for your reply. I found a solution last night (hadn't seen any replies yet) and it works well. I'll try your suggestion to see if it makes any difference. But thank you!

This is other solution I finally found:

if (isset($_POST['foundSiteBy'])) {
     if (is_array($_POST['foundSiteBy'])) {
             $tests = " ";
             foreach ($_POST['foundSiteBy'] as $val) {
                   $tests .= $val . ', ';
             }
           //  $tests .= '!';
     }
}
 

Of course I have to figure out how to drop the comma after the last value is returned! ;-)

There are a couple ways you could do that. One would be to get the length of the string and then just store everything except the last character which would be the comma.

Doh..thanks. rtrim worked to remove the last comma.

$foundSite = rtrim($foundSite,", ");
