PHP Mail question

...sending an array to the mail message

[mcjohnson]

Hi folks,

I have mastered grabbing an array from the $_POST from a set of 12 check boxes and printing them in the web page using the isset/foreach combo, but am having trouble sending the same list to the email message.

Here is the post data:

$list = $_POST['list'];

and here is the properly working script that is printing within the body of the web page:

<?PHP if(isset($_POST['list'])){foreach($_POST['list'] as $value1) {
echo "<BR> &nbsp;&nbsp;" . $value1 , "\n";
}}else {echo "none";}
?>

It works great. But I want that same list to be printed in the email. I have added a foreach statement to create a new variable to send to the email message:

foreach($_POST['list'] as $listcat) {
$listcat = $list2;
}

and then just putting $list2 in the email body. But, not only is it not working, I think I am way off. I have tried putting the foreach lanaguage in the email message, but that did not work either.

Any thoughts would br greatly appreciatesd.

Thanks!

Perhaps instead of:

foreach($_POST['list'] as $listcat) {

$listcat = $list2;

}

you are looking for:

foreach($_POST['list'] as $listcat) {

# Append each list entry to $list2 and comma-separate

$list2 .= $listcat.",";

}

# Clean extra comma off the end

$list2 = substr($list2,0,-1);

In the end,

$list2

would be a comma-separated string containing all of the values in the

$_POST['list']

array.

Or maybe even:

foreach($_POST['list'] as $listcat) {

# Append each list entry to $list2 and add newline

$list2 .= $listcat."\r\n";

}

for a string with line breaks between each entry.

or you can just implode the array:

if (!empty($_POST['list']))
{
$listcat = implode(",", $_POST['list']);
}
