Some quick php help needed

[chrisnrach17]

I have a contact form in php format. The results are e-mailed to me.

I'm having a problem getting an indication of whther the Subscribe field is checked or not checked. The other fields (text fields) come through fine.

Can anyone suggest what I need to put on the Subscribe line to tell me if the checkbox has been checked or not?

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Attention: $attn \n
Message: $notes \n
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Postal Address: $postal \n
Subscribe: $subscribe \n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
Browser Info: $httpagent \n
Referral : $httpref \n


thanks in advance if you can help on this!

Assuming that $subscribe is equal to the $_POST vars from your checkbox then...

if($subscribe==true){
echo('Box Checked!');
} else {
echo('Box NOT Checked!');
}

thanks. however when I pasted that code and tested the form the Box Checked! message appeared on the webpage - rather than on the e-mail results I receive.

any ideas?

$subscribe = ($subscribe ? "checked" : "not checked");

idk if that'll work but try putting it before your $message = "today.... line

the way php works, if a checkbox is left blank, it doesn't show up in your POST vars. so if it's really a big deal use radio options, otherwise use an if statement of some sort...

if (!subscribe]) {
$subscribe = "No!";
}
