Values from select menu and checkboxs wont pass to email?

8/09/2010 5:53 pm | #1 blackweldermhe400113

I'm having a problem with the select menu values and the checkbox values passing to my email. The code is as follows. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
.name {
margin: 0 0 8px 0;
padding: 0;
font: 14px Georgia,"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

.email {
margin: 0 0 8px 0;

when using multi check boxes, or multi select lists, you need top edit the code to use the implode function to convert the array to a comma seperated list.

For example, change:

php:

<?php echo ((isset($_POST["Appointment_request_group_Best_times[]"]))?$_POST["Appointment_request_group_Best_times[]"]:"")?>

to:

php:

<?php echo ((isset($_POST["Appointment_request_group_Best_times"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Appointment_request_group_Best_times"]):"")?>

similar problem to above

Jason, I'm having a similar problem in that I can't seem to pass two checkbox values to the email that Universal Email creates. Attached is the code block for the group of checkboxes. The user should be able to check both boxes if they'd like. Basically, one is for a newsletter sign-up and the other is to request another piece of company literature.

I tried swapping $_POST with implode like you've mentioned, but get syntax errors if I don't include $_ before it. It didn't seem to work anyway. I'm not sure what the heck I should be doing honestly. Thanks.

you will need to use the implode function like my previous examples.

you say:

where are you putting this code?

what exactly is the code you are using?

if you are getting syntax errors, it;s because you are not implementing the code correctly, I wont be able to what the issue is without seeing the code you are using.

also, what version of universal email?

Isn't the code attached to my last post? I'm using whatever version of Universal Email ships with the latest Form Builder build. I'm sorry for sounding vague, but if I'm not asking the right questions its because I might not be able to properly articulate the symptoms surrounding the issue I'm having. I added implode to the string of php code surrounding the checkboxes. I don't believe the code that I attached to my last post includes the implode function anymore.

the code attached to your post does not include the implode function.

send a copy of the page please and a copy of the webassist/email folder. Copy those to a zip archive and attach the zip file to your replay, with your files I will be able to tell you what needs to be changed
