I'm still new to PHP. I took 5 months at a community college and still don't get everything. Currently I'm trying to make a form mail script with checkboxes. All the other types of inputs are easy, except for this.
My HTML code is this...
Have you ever had*: Diabetes Hypoglycemia Seizures Fainting Spells Eating Disorders Respiratory Problems Psychiatric Care Phobias
And my PHP code is this:
$subject = 'Awe Star Online Missionary Application Form';
$webMaster = 'email@me.com';
$body = <<<EOD
Name - $name
E-Mail - $email
Have you ever had - $haveyoueverhad
Submitted on:
$time
EOD;
/* Sends E-Mail */
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers . "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $subject, $body, $headers);
/* Results after E-Mail is sent */
header('Location:thankyou.php');
Now, learning about checkboxes, I've figured out that I need a foreach loop as checkboxes submit results into an array of values.
foreach($haveyouever as $haveyouever_result) {
echo $haveyouever_result)
}
But, I was wondering, is there a way to output this foreach loop into a variable so I can add that variable into the EOD body for e-mail purposes?
I can't seem to add the code feature to the HTML but the name of the checkboxes are $haveyouever[] with a value of whatever it is (not a numerical value)
I was googling last night for answers and there were so many if statements and whatnot, I figured it was a lot simpler than 20 lines of code for one checkbox.

You can use the
join()function which accepts a separator then an array.I tried putting that inside the foreach loop but it received errors. Is this something I do beforehand?
$haveyoueveris the array of results from the form submission, correct?no, you don't use a loop.
p.s.
join()is an alias forimplode()(I'd never heard of
join()before!)p.p.s. - nice to see a college course that teaches using HEREDOC notation! : )
That worked beautifully! Thank you guys so much.
