Pass all values of multi-checked checkboxes

[Inky1231]

I have a form in which the users can select more than one check box for each question, each question has four checkboxes with the same name but different values. These answers are then passed through an array which emails it to me. The problem I am having is rather than send all values for each question it only sends the last value. How do I get it to email all the values that are checked?
email part vastly cut down.

Code: Select all

$fields = array('date', 'name', 'sid', 'bdate', 'saddress', 'city', 'state', 'zip', 'cell', 'alternate', 'email', 'condition', 'classes', 'assignments', 'communication', 'evaluation', 'timeconstraints', 'attendance', 'campus', 'cocurricular', 'accommodationsused', 'tape', 'note', 'device', 'signl', 'caption', 'tcalculator', 'enlarger', 'braille', 'dragon', 'other', 'otherspecify', 'extend', 'environment', 'processor', 'spell', 'calculator', 'reader', 'waiver', 'reduced', 'oaccommodation', 'affirm', 'filled', 'parentname', 'fillother');
         
         //$to = "mhoover@dacc.edu";
         $to2 = "aabdelzaher@dacc.edu";
         //$to3 ="voliver@dacc.edu";
         $subject = "Request for Accommodations";
         $headers  ='MIME-Version: 1.0' .PHP_EOL;
         $headers .='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . PHP_EOL;
         $headers .= "From: noreply@dacc.edu\r\n" . "X-Mailer: php";
         $greet = "The following was submitted on " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "<p><p>";
         

         $body =   $greet  ;
      

         $cn = 1;
   
         
         foreach($fields as $efield) {
         
            
            if(isset($_POST[$efield])) {
            
      if($efield == "date") {
      $body.= "<strong>". " Today's date: "."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;" . $_POST[$efield] ."<p>";
               } elseif($efield == "tape") {
      $body.= "<em>For Class Notes:</em><p><strong>". "Tape recorder:"." </strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;" . $_POST[$efield] .",<p>";
         } elseif($efield == "note") {
         $body.= "<strong>". "Note Taker: "."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;" . $_POST[$efield] .",<p><p>";
                     
   }
   }
   }

try some thing like, simple two dimensional array. will keep all four values for each each question.

Code: Select all

<?php
   
   
if (isset($_POST['question'])) {
   foreach ($_POST['question'] as $q) {
      foreach ($q as $f) {
         print_R($f);
      }
   
   }


   }
 ?>
 <html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
 <form method="POST" action="">
<input type="text" name="question[0][0]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="question[0][1]" value="red" /> Red
<input type="checkbox" name="question[0][2]" value="blue" /> Blue
<input type="checkbox" name="question[0][3]" value="green" /> Green
<input type="checkbox" name="question[0][4]" value="yellow" /> Yellow


<input type="text" name="question[1][0]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="question[1][1]" value="red" /> Red
<input type="checkbox" name="question[1][2]" value="blue" /> Blue
<input type="checkbox" name="question[1][3]" value="green" /> Green
<input type="checkbox" name="question[1][4]" value="yellow" /> Yellow

<input type="text" name="question[2][0]" />
<input type="checkbox" name="question[2][1]" value="red" /> Red
<input type="checkbox" name="question[2][2]" value="blue" /> Blue
<input type="checkbox" name="question[2][3]" value="green" /> Green
