I have been working on creating a PHP email form recently and cannot manage to send the checkbox values correctly. The form is one I found elsewhere and have been modifying. The HTML is fairly straightforward. <pre><code><label for="needs">I am looking for...</label> <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="product list">A Product List <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="educational support">Educational Support <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="catering options">Catering Options <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="party ideas">Party Ideas <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="healthy alternatives">Healthy Alternatives <input name="needs[]" id="needs" type="checkbox" value="other">Other (please specify) </code></pre> As of right now, when I send it through the PHP it simply returns either a single selected value or if multiple are selected is says "array". What I would like is for the message of the mail being sent to me to list the selected values. I have searched elsewhere, but have not found a situation the same as mine yet. Here is the PHP: <pre><code><?php $msg= 'Name: '.$_POST['name'].' Category: '.$_POST['category'].' Email: '.$_POST['email'].' Phone: '.$_POST['telephone'].' Looking for: '.$_POST['needs'].' IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].' Message: '.nl2br($_POST['message']).' '; ?> </code></pre> The rest of the code is setup and sending of the message. I realize that there are other ways of doing what I want, but would like to continue using the $msg that is included here. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Modified code: <pre><code>$msg= 'Name: '.$_POST['name'].' Category: '.$_POST['category'].' Email: '.$_POST['email'].' Phone: '.$_POST['telephone'].' Looking for: '.(is_array($_POST['needs'])?implode("\n", $_POST['needs']):$_POST['needs']).' IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].' Message: '.nl2br($_POST['message']).' '; </code></pre>

Guidance

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.
