Hi Guys,

I am new to PHP coding but that is no excuse for the mess I am making here.

The ideal page for my needs is:

(Simple form in PHP where all form values are mailed)

I could not make the CHECK BX work in PHP page so tried in this HTM page.
I prints out part of the PHP code itself.

What isn't working with the check boxes? How are you retrieving the
values upon processing the form?

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 R why
is it repeated in the "Comments" section.

The page is 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-HMECASH" and
"1-877-APPLY NW", 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-HMECASH">
<input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-APPLY NW">

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.

I did look up ARRAY. I just didn't understand how I can insert a table(
"InterestedNumber") in an arrey so I could put something like this for form
processing:

<?
foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $indx =$value) {
${$indx}=$value;
}
foreach($HTTP_PST_VARS as $indx =$value) {
${$indx}=$value;
}
if($sendmessage == "yes"){

$todaytime = date("F j, Y, g:i a");

$mailTo = "cghosh (AT) primarywave (DOT) com";

$mailBody .= "Main Activities: $activities\n\n";
$mailBody .= "SelectedNumber: $SelectedNumber\n"; //////I am thinking this
is where I should put the Array?/////
$mailBody .= "Comments: $comments\n\n\n";
$mailBody .= "$todaytime";

$mailHeaders = "From: contact (AT) primarywavemedia (DOT) com\n";

mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHeaders);

print "<CENTER><H2>Thank You</H2></CENTER>";

}else{

$_num = new number();
$_num->init();

$number = $_num->num_info[number];

?>

The PAGE I am testing is

Thanks for the help,

I did look up ARRAY. I just didn't understand how I can insert a
table(
"InterestedNumber") in an arrey so I could put something like this for
form

<?
foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $indx =$value) {

foreach($HTTP_PST_VARS as $indx =$value) {
${$indx}=$value;
}

Gak.

If you are going to do this, you might as well just turn
register_globals back ""

You've got the SAME security problem -- You just are doing it to
yourself instead of letting PHP do it to you.

if($sendmessage == "yes"){

$mailBody .= "SelectedNumber: $SelectedNumber\n"; //////I am
thinking this
is where I should put the Array?/////

$mailBody .= "SelectedNumbers:\n";
$mailBody .= implode("\n", $InterestedNumbers);

$mailBody .= "Comments: $comments\n\n\n";

Hi Richard,

I am new as you can assume. Hence, I have no clue how to turn

register_globals back ""

////////////////Is there any other place I can read more about creating
Arrays? other than

The page is discussion:
doesn't seem to send
the email even

Can you please shed some light?

Thanks,

Hi Richard ,

Jay helped me with the Global setting but the problem remains the same. Can
you enlighten please?

Apparently the register_globals is ""
My site's PHP info is available at

The problem still in hand is:

a different Note,
This page is the original working version I have:

This is the page I want to work allowing the check box values to be

I kept almost everything identical so Im at loss why the 2nd doesn't even
