Checkbox and list values appear as "Array"

Hi,

I am running CSS FB 2.0.1, I created a form with a check box element and a list element, the checkbox allows a single select and the list is a multiple select, when the form is submitted the contents are loaded to a database, the values of the fields are not written to the database and both fields display a value of 'Array' in the email. I also have a select menu on the page which submits and displays correctly and writes its value to the DB table.

performers.php

Regards,

Gary

add the following code at line 1 of the page:

<?php

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")     {

    foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {

        if(is_array($_POST[$key])) $_POST[$key] = implode(", ", $_POST[$key]);

    }

}

?>

Thanks Jason, I'll give it a shot.

Hi Jason,

Thank you, That worked great for the email portion of the form, however it still is not writing the values to the database fields. I have attached the page for inspection so you can let me know where I went wrong.

Thanks,

Gary

for a multiple select list or checkbox group to pass info, the name of the element needs to end with "[]" to create an array.

when selecting the binding for the multi select or checkbox group, the binding code will include the "[]" at the end, for example:

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

but will need to be removed from the binding code:
<?php echo((isset($_POST["classification"]))?$_POST["classification"]:"") ?>

in the insert record behavior, inspect the code that is in the value for the columns that are getting the multi select and checkbox group, and remove the "[]" characters from it.

Thank you Jason for not just giving me the answer I needed, but for explaining in enough detail to hel me avoid making the same mistake again, but not too much to make a non coders head spin!

Much appreciated

you're welcome.
