PHP checkboxes with mail(); for each value

nosweat · November 1st, 2007, 06:39 PM

Hi, I am creating a form with checkboxes. I have no problem getting the values to return in the handle_event.php page and via email. My client wants the each property manager to receive an email when their property is "checked":

<?php
print '<form action="handle_event.php" method="post"></p>';
    print '<table width="800px" id="maincontent">

<tr><td>

<input type="checkbox" name="condo[]" value="<a href=http://www.berkmanplaza.com>Berkman Plaza 2</a>" />Berkman Plaza 2<br /><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="condo[]" value="<a href=http://www.thechelsealofts.com>Chelsea Lofts</a>" />Chelsea Lofts<br /><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="condo[]" value="<a href=http://www.cityplacejacksonville.com>City Place</a>" />City Place<br /><br />

<tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" /><input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" /><br><br><br>
        </p></form>
        </td></tr></table>';?>
I'm successful with the user receiving an email with their choices, and I'm successful with the CC and BCC parameters - no errors. What I really need to do is somehow apply the mail(); to each property or "value". If Berkman Plaza is checked, then someone at Berkman Plaza would automatically receive an email, and so on..

Many thanks if anyone could help!

Add on to your value property for each checkbox.
Try adding the email as the first property and leave the link as the second and split them by a certain string such as ^^

As an example the first checkbox might become

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="condo[]" value="[email protected]^^<a href=http://www.berkmanplaza.com>Berkman Plaza 2</a>" />Berkman Plaza 2<br /><br />

To get the values you would explode the value of the checkbox inside your loop

Code:

$values = explode("^^",checkbox[$loopCounterVariable]);
$emailto = $values[0];
$url = $values[1];
