    <p>I created a form with a multidimensional arrays and I'm trying to send an e-mail with the arrays using PHPmailer by writing the contents of the arrays to a text file and then having it read the file for contents but when I send the e-mail it only shows up as "'; } fclose(); ?> ". What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Here is the code of the form with the multidimensional array:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="send_mail_tray.php" onsubmit='return packageValidator()'&gt; &lt;table width="100%"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="appetizer[]" value="Appetizer 1" /&gt;Appetizer 1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 75px" align="right"&gt; Med: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[0][Med]" style="width: 30px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lg: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[0][Lg]" style="width: 30px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="appetizer[]" value="Appetizer 2" /&gt;Appetizer 2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 75px" align="right"&gt; Med: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[1][Med]" style="width: 30px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lg: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[1][Lg]" style="width: 30px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="appetizer[]" value="Appetizer 3" /&gt;Appetizer 3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 75px" align="right"&gt; Med: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[2][Med]" style="width: 30px" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lg: &lt;input type="text" name="appetizer[2][Lg]" style="width: 30px" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; ... &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="Submit" value="Submit Order" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>My PHP code:</p> <pre><code>foreach ($_POST['appetizer'] as $piece =&gt; $sizes){ $medSize = $sizes['Med']; $lgSize = $sizes['Lg']; if(!empty($medSize) || !empty($lgSize)){ $appetizer .= $_GET['appetizer'] . " - Med: " . $medSize . ", Lg: " . $lgSize; } } $message = ("&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your catering request!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name:&lt;/b&gt; $name&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Phone #:&lt;/b&gt; $phone&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Email:&lt;/b&gt; $email&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Appetizers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; $appetizer &lt;/p&gt;"); </code></pre> <p>I have also tried using andrewsi's code but after using it, I no longer receive e-mails:</p> <pre><code>foreach ($_POST['appetizer'] as $piece =&gt; $sizes){ $medSize = $sizes['Med']; $lgSize = $sizes['Lg']; if(!empty($medSize) || !empty($lgSize)){ $message .= $_GET['appetizer'] . " - Med: " . $medSize . ", Lg: " . $lgSize; } } </code></pre> <p>Here is the code for sending the e-mail:</p> <pre><code>$email = $_REQUEST['email']; $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail-&gt;Host = //SMTP server $mail-&gt;Sender = //Sender $mail-&gt;From = //From $mail-&gt;AddReplyTo("email@email.com"); $mail-&gt;FromName = //FromName; $mail-&gt;AddAddress($email); $mail-&gt;IsHTML(true); $mail-&gt;Subject = //Subject; $mail-&gt;Body=$message; $mail-&gt;WordWrap = 50; $mail-&gt;Send(); echo"&lt;script&gt;window.location='thankyou.html'&lt;/script&gt;"; </code></pre>

    1. COIs there a reason, by the way, why you're writing to a text file and then emailing from that?

    2. COYou don't have to open and close the file in the foreach loop, just before (opening) and after (closing) is fine.

    3. COI wasn't sure if there was any other way to print the data after filtering out unused arrays(empty values for sizes). Is there a better solution to this?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
