I'm trying to feed the following checkboxes through to a PHP email form:
<div id="product_information_container">
<h1 id="product_information_subtitle"><a data-tooltip="Click to hide/display the content below." href="#"><img class="information_icons" src="images/information_icon.png"></a>What can we help you with?</h1>
<div class="product_information">
<div class="product_information_containers" id="product_information_attic_barrier">
<input id="product_information_checkbox_attic_barrier" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="attic_barrier" />
<span class="product_options">Attic Barrier</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="product_information">
<div class="product_information_containers" id="product_information_doors">
<input id="product_information_checkbox_doors" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="entry_system_door" />
<span class="product_options">Entry System Door</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="product_information">
<div class="product_information_containers" id="product_information_eavestrough_cover">
<input id="product_information_checkbox_eavestrough_cover" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="eavestrough_cover" />
<span class="product_options">Eavestrough Cover</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="product_information">
<div class="product_information_containers" id="product_information_windows">
<input id="product_information_checkbox_windows" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="windows" />
<span class="product_options">Windows</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="product_information" id="window_options">
<div id="windows_options_one">
<div class="product_information_windows_containers" id="product_information_windows_baybow">
<input id="windows_baybow_checkbox" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="windows" />
<span class="product_options">Bay/Bow</span>
</div>
<div class="product_information_windows_containers" id="product_information_windows_casement">
<input id="windows_casement_checkbox" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="windows" />
<span class="product_options">Casement</span>
</div>
</div>
<div id="windows_options_two">
<div class="product_information_windows_containers" id="product_information_windows_doublehung">
<input id="windows_doublehung_checkbox" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="windows" />
<span class="product_options">Double-Hung</span>
</div>
<div class="product_information_windows_containers" id="product_information_windows_sliding">
<input id="windows_sliding_checkbox" name="product_information[]" type="checkbox" value="windows" />
<span class="product_options">Sliding</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I then intend to capture the information entered, and notify which pieces of information are relevant. Essentially, all products selected within "product_information" should be fed through, if checked. However, with my current code, I only receive the last value selected in the group of checkboxes.
Here is my PHP code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST)){
$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$date = date('d/m/Y');
$time = date('H:i:s');
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$spouse_name = $_POST['spouse_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$street_number = $_POST['street_number'];
$street_name = $_POST['street_name'];
$street_type = $_POST['street_type'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$postal_code = $_POST['postal_code'];
$phone_number = $_POST['phone_number'];
$alternate_phone_number = $_POST['alternate_phone_number'];
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
$contact_time = $_POST['contact_time'];
$product_information = $_POST['product_information'];
$headers = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$emailbody = "<p>You have received a message!</p>
<strong>Name: </strong>{$first_name} {$last_name}, <strong>Spouse's Name: </strong>{$spouse_name}<br />
<strong>Address: </strong>{$street_number} {$street_name} {$street_type}, {$city}, ON {$postal_code}<br />
<strong>Phone Number: </strong> {$phone_number}, <strong>Alt. Phone Number: </strong> {$alternate_phone_number}<br />
<strong>Email Address: </strong> {$email_address}</p>
<p>Please contact {$first_name} during the {$contact_time} about {$product_information}.<br
<p>This message was sent from the IP Address: {$ip_address} on {$date} at {$time}.</p>";
mail('[email protected]','Title',$emailbody,$headers);
}
?>
$_POST['product_information']
should be an array. I find it hard to believe that your output is the last value selected in the group of checkboxes and notArray
