I am an admitted novice at PHP. I'm trying to send data from an HTML file to a PHP file and have the PHP file send an email. Have it all working fairly well, but got stuck trying to include info from a series of checkboxes. They are set up OK in the HTML file (name ending in []). When the email sends now it only picks up the last checkbox checked. I think I need to use a foreach statement, but I can't seem to quite get it correct so the mail function will pick up the entire array. I'm sure this is very basic. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance

they have a web development area in this forums. i dont know why people always oost that stuff here. you'd probably get better answeres over there. i actually cant help you with your problem since i've never used a foreach statement successfully.if you post a link to what you have i may be able to suggest a diff way of doing it (i probably could). well, good luck FBI_Agent

After roaming thru some other forums, I think I may have stumbled across some code that will work. Never could get the foreach statement to work, but the following seems to accomplish the task: $mycheckbox = implode(",", $_POST['mycheckbox']); $msg = "Email:\t$email\n"; $msg .= "Checked:\t$mycheckbox\n"; $message = "Email: $email\nCheckbox: $msg\nRemarks: $mytextarea\n";

$msg .= "Checked:\t$mycheckbox\n"; whats the dot before the equals sign do? FBI_Agent

The period is a string concatenation function. Used with the equals sign is shorthand to mean the variable equals itself plus whatever follows the equals sign. The line above could also have been written like this: $msg = $msg . "Checked:\t$mycheckbox\n"; Michael J

cool, thanks FBI_Agent AIM: EliteAssassin187
