Missing field in generated email

Missing field in generated email

Hi Guys,

Hopefully a simple question that I know I have asked before.

I have a select list in a form. It only lets you select one item. As such I would think that if I want to input the info into the generated email it would look like this.

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

I realize I have to remove the [] which I have done. But the email is not pulling the selected form field.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

using [] at the end of the name means that the select list is set to be a multiple select list.

a multiple select list passes the selections as an array.

in the email message remove the [] from the binding code, and add the following code at line 1 of the page to convert the array to a comma separated list:

php:
<?php

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")     {
    foreach(
$_POST as $key => $val) {
        if(
is_array($_POST[$key])) $_POST[$key] = implode(", "$_POST[$key]);
    }
}
?>

Hi Jason,

Thanks, I have taken the code and uploaded it. I have tried the form and all its spits out in the final file is "array".

I am uploading the files for you too have a look at.

Thanks!
Martin

the code was supposed to go on the form page, not the email template page.

Thank you! That worked.

LOL! I think I should add a tag line to my profile - "I never claimed to be a coder!"

Cheers,
