Validating Checkbox Group

Validating Checkbox Group

I have added field forms to the contact form solution pack. All is working except:
1. the server validation for the checkbox group will not go away, even when something is checked.
2. the email that is received from the form is not listing the checkboxes. It will only say "Sessions: Array" or "Session: on"

Here is the code I am using in reference to that checkbox group:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?$_POST["Sessions"]:"") . "",true,9);

<div id="sessions" class="formInput BoxBorderTop">
<ul class="radioButtons">
<span id="sessions">
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="All_Sessions" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"" ) ?> />
<label for="All_Aessions">All Sessions</label>
</li>
<p class="day">Wednesday, January 20</p>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Morning_Sessions" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Wednesday_Morning_Sessions">Morning Sessions</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Afternoon_Sessions" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Wednesday_Afternoon_Sessions">Afternoon Sessions</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Luncheon"<?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Wednesday_Lunhceon">Luncheon</label>
</li>
<br class="hide" />
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Dinner" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Wednesday_Dinner">Reception & Dinner</label>
</li>
<br />
<p class="day">Thursday, January 21</p>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Thurs_Morning_Sessions" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Thursday_Morning_Sessions">Morning Sessions</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Thurs_Afternoon_Sessions"<?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Thursday_Afternoon_Sessions">Afternoon Sessions</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Thurs_Luncheon"<?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />
<label for="Thursday_Luncheon">Luncheon</label>
</li>

<span class="checkboxMinSelectionsMsg">Please choose at least one
session you will be attending.</span></span>
<?php
if (ValidatedField("contact","contact")) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("contact","contact").","), "," . "9" . ",") !== false || "9" == "")) {
if (!(false)) {
?>
<span id="sessionServerError" class="textfieldServerError">Please choose
at least one session you will be attending.</span>
<?php //WAFV_Conditional contact.php contact(9: )
}
}
}?>
</ul>
</div>

Thank you in advance.

none of the checkboxes has a value:
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Morning_Sessions" <?php echo((isset($_POST["Sessions"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["Sessions"]):"") ?> />



should be:
<input type="checkbox" name="Sessions[]" id="Wed_Morning_Sessions" value="Wednesday Morning" />



In the WA_Universal_Email\Templates\contactus.php page, checge:

php:
<?php

foreach( $_POST as $pkey => $pval ){
  if (
$pval != "" && strpos($pkey,"Security_") !== && $pkey != "x" && $pkey != "y")  {
?>
    <div style="formRow">
    <strong><?php echo(str_replace("_"," ",$pkey)); ?>: </strong>
    <?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval)); ?>
    </div>
<?php
  
}
}
?>





to:

php:
<?php

foreach( $_POST as $pkey => $pval ){
  if (
$pval != "" && strpos($pkey,"Security_") !== && $pkey != "x" && $pkey != "y")  {
?>
    <div style="formRow">
    <strong><?php echo(str_replace("_"," ",$pkey)); ?>: </strong>
    <?php if(is_array($pval)) { ?>
    <?php echo(implode(",",str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval))); ?>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",$pval)); ?>
    <?php ?>
    </div>
<?php
  
}
}
?>

Thank you that worked well for the email and it was simple.

Is there a reason why a php error code will not disappear. In testing some of my fields, the error message will disappear and others will not. I have gone back and forth in turning off JavaScript and turning it back on. I'm not sure if it's a cache thing or what. I have each field to be validated on blur (in the spry) should I be putting that somewhere in the php?

PHP validation is completely different from spry validation.


The PHP errors are stored in session variables, they will not go away till the browsing session ends or the form is submitted with out an error.

if a spry validation is showing all the time, it because of a problem in the javascript.
