Hi Guys,

I am new to web developing. I found it fun and interesting so i start learning now. I created a Form using HTML with checkboxes and I managed to send it to email using PHP by creating one php file. Everything was fine but i noticed that i was not able to capture those values i selected within a checkboxes.

How can i get the value of my checkboxes from HTML Form to my PHP?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Can you post your code?

You will need to reference the input names in your $_POST or $_GET array. It's going to be hard to assist you with out seeing what you have thus far.

Why not start by showing us how you're attempting to do this (your code) then we can proceed from there

Thanks a lot for your response and sorry if i was not able to show my codes. Below are my codes.


//here are my PHP codes

<?php

  $motortype1		= $_POST['motortype1'];
  $motortype2		= $_POST['motortype2']; 
  $motortype3		= $_POST['motortype3']; 
  $motortype4		= $_POST['motortype4']; 
  $motortype5		= $_POST['motortype5']; 

  $company_email   = 'myemail@yahoo.com';
  $subject			   = 'Online Registration';
  $headers			 .= "Online Registration Request:\n";

  $msg  .= "If yes, what type?: \n   $motortype1\n";

  mail($company_email, $subject, $msg, $headers);

?>



  //and here are my HTML code for my Form

  <tr>
			<td height="32" class="style11">
	<div align="left">If yes, what type? </div></td>
				<td width="90" height="28" class="style11">
	<div align="left">			 
	   	<input type="checkbox" name="motortype1" value="Cruiser" /> Cruiser
				</div></td>
			
			<td width="84" class="style11">
	<div align="left">
				<input type="checkbox" name="motortype2" value="Tourer" /> Tourer 
				</div></td>
			
			<td height="28" class="style11">
	<div align="left">
				<input type="checkbox" name="motortype3" value="Sports Tourer" /> Sports Tourer 
				</div></td>
			
			 <td width="69" height="28" class="style11">
	<div align="left">
				<input type="checkbox" name="motortype4" value="Sport" /> Sport			
				</div></td>
			
			 <td width="81" height="32" class="style11">
				<div align="left">
				<input type="checkbox" name="motortype5" value="Other" /> Other			
	</div></td>
	   </tr>

If my visitor choose 1 or more motortype, on email sent from the form those selected checkboxes should also be included.

Thanks again!

Mod Edit: Please use code tags when posting your code. Code tags are used like so =>

change your PHP code

<?php

  $motortype1  = isset($_POST['motortype1']) ? $_POST['motortype1'] : 0;
  $motortype2  = isset($_POST['motortype2']) ? $_POST['motortype2'] : 0;
  $motortype3  = isset($_POST['motortype3']) ? $_POST['motortype3'] : 0;
  $motortype4  = isset($_POST['motortype4']) ? $_POST['motortype4'] : 0;
  $motortype5  = isset($_POST['motortype5']) ? $_POST['motortype5'] : 0;

  $company_email   = 'myemail@yahoo.com';
  $subject         = 'Online Registration';
  $headers         .= "Online Registration Request:\n";
  
  $msg  = "If yes, what type?: \n   $motortype1\n";
  mail($company_email, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?>

and also is this your all HTML code?

The variable $MSG must exist before you can concatenate to it.
