Form fields in custom form

Okay, change the line to this:

$days_TSV = "\t" . implode("\t", @$_REQUEST['days'] ) . "\t";

The form will ignore it if it isn't checked.

Claire, I used that code and now get the following error:

Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in C:\inetpub\charlotteparent\directory\freeform1.php on line 86 

Thanks!

You'll have to change the code to check if it's set then. Add this:

if(isset($_REQUEST['days']) {
    $days_TSV = "\t" . implode("\t", $_REQUEST['days'] ) . "\t";
}
else {
    $days_TSV = "";
}

Perfect!

Thanks for all your help!

Claire,

I one other thing I need help with. With the coding above that we used to output the days of week which is a multiple list with checkbox. It works perfect to record the data in backend of CMS. However, when I put the

<?= @$_REQUEST['days']?>

in my preview file, it just outputs array. It also does the same for the email template (#days#) that is sent to user and admin:

'days'            => $_REQUEST['days'],

Is there a way to make that data display properly in the preview file and email template? I have uploaded my file as well in case you need to look at everything.

Here is my coding for the checkbox:

<div id="days" >
<div class="form-label">Days of Week:</div>
<div class="form-field">

<fieldset>
<?php foreach($days_dirRecords as $record): ?>
<input type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $record['habbit']; ?>" <?php echo checkIfInArray($record['habbit'], @$_REQUEST["days"]) ?> name="days[]" />&nbsp;<?php echo $record['habbit']; ?>
<br />
<?php endforeach; ?>
</fieldset>



</div></div>

Thanks! April

Hi April

The days of the week are in an array, and you can't echo arrays without doing a little preparation first.

Try something like this: 

implode(', ',$_REQUEST['days'])

in order to show the array as a string of characters. What it should do is combine all the array elements into a single string separated by commas.

Claire,

I used this and it worked perfectly to output text in my email template.

However, then when I went back to submit my form again, I got the following error where this code is located.

'days'             => implode(', ',$_REQUEST['days']),

Notice: Undefined index: days in C:\inetpub\charlotteparent\directory\forms\form.php on line 293 Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in C:\inetpub\charlotteparent\directory\forms\form.php on line 293

Is it conflicting with the main code we placed to make days of week work or if there an easy to fix?

// setup checkbox days
 if(isset($_REQUEST['days'])) {
    $days_TSV = "\t" . implode("\t", $_REQUEST['days'] ) . "\t";
}
else {
     $days_TSV = "";
}
