  1. POHow to pass an array of checked/unchecked checkbox values to PHP email generator?
    text
    copied!<p>I have added a checkbox to a form that the user can dynamically add rows to. You can see the form <a href="http://www.bodhitreebrighton.org.uk/bookingtest.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>I use an array to pass the values for each row to a PHP email generator, and all works fine for other inputs, but I can't get the checkbox to work. The checkbox input currently looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="checkbox" name="mailing[]" value="Yes"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then in the PHP I have this:</p> <pre><code>$mailing = trim(stripslashes($_POST['mailing'][$i])); </code></pre> <p>But it is not working as expected, i.e. I am only seeing 'Yes' for the first checkbox checked, and nothing for subsequent checkboxes that are checked.</p> <p>One further issue is that I would like the value 'No' to be generated for unchecked checkboxes.</p> <p>Could someone help with this?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick</p> <p><strong>Form:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="bookingenginetest.php"&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="mailing[]" value="Yes"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Full Name:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="name[]"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Email:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="email[]"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Telephone:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="telephone[]"&gt; &lt;span class="remove"&gt;Remove&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;span class="add"&gt;Add person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Cloning script:</strong></p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $(".add").click(function() { var x = $("form &gt; p:first-child").clone(true).insertBefore("form &gt; p:last-child"); x.find('input').each(function() { this.value = ''; }); return false; }); $(".remove").click(function() { $(this).parent().remove(); }); }); </code></pre>
