Implode Issue On PHP Form

Question

In spite of the fact that I'll probably look like a complete idiot, I'm going to post my entire files to see what I'm doing wrong.

I have form built into the page like so:

<form method="post" class="form-horizontal" id="final_form" action="send_mail.php">
                 <h2>Search for your dream home<br />
       and save now!</h2>
                <legend>Which Areas are you interested in?</legend>
                <div class="areas row-fluid" style="text-align:left !important;">                       
                    <div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
                        <label>
                            <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[0]" value="Sparks" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Sparks</label>
                    </div>                      
                    <div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
                        <label >
                            <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[1]" value="Stead" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Stead</label>
                    </div>                      
                    <div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
                        <label>
                            <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[2]" value="North Reno" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> North Reno</label>
                    </div>

                            <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[3]" value="South Reno" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> South Reno</label>

                    <div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
                        <label >
                            <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[4]" value="Double Diamond" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Double Diamond</label>

                    </div>


    </div>
            </div>

Here is the php

<?php

$webmaster_email = "[email protected]";

$webmaster_email2 = "[email protected]";

$fname = $_REQUEST['fname'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'];
$minBedrooms = $_REQUEST['minBedrooms'];
$minBathrooms = $_REQUEST['minBathrooms'];
$minPrice = $_REQUEST['minPrice'];
$move = $_REQUEST['move'];
$realtor = $_REQUEST['realtor'];

if( !empty($_REQUEST) && is_array($arrayValue) ) {

$arrayValue = array();
$areas = implode("," , $_REQUEST['arrayValue']);

}




$emailfrom = $_REQUEST['email'];



$headers = 'From: '.$emailfrom."\r\n".

$email_to = "[email protected], ";

/* This bit sets the URLs of the supporting pages.
If you change the names of any of the pages, you will need to change the values here.
*/
$feedback_page = "index.html";
$thankyou_page = "thankyou.html";


/*
The following function checks for email injection.
Specifically, it checks for carriage returns - typically used by spammers to inject a CC    
list.
*/
function isInjected($str) {
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str)) {
    return true;
}
else {
    return false;
}


}

// If the user tries to access this script directly, redirect them to the feedback    
form,
if (!isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {
header( "Location: $feedback_page" );
}


// If email injection is detected, redirect to the error page.
elseif ( isInjected($email) ) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}

// If we passed all previous tests, send the email then redirect to the thank you page.
else {
mail( $email_to, "You Have a New Lead",
"Name: $fname\nEmail: $email\nPhone: $phone\nMinBedrooms: $minBedrooms\nMinPrice:     
$minPrice\nMove Date: $move\nRealtor: $realtor\nAreas: $areas", $headers );
}

echo "<script>window.location = 'thankyou.html'</script>"; 
?>

My checkboxes are not returning any values. Does anyone know why? I've worked to make things correct and I think I've got the array set up right thanks to the help of another question, but I think I'm asking the wrong question in my other post.

Your $arrayValue is not defined before the first if statement which is why the is_array($arrayValue) does not succeed. Please try:

if( !empty($_REQUEST['arrayValue'])) {
  $arrayValue = array();
  $areas = implode("," , $_REQUEST['arrayValue']);
}

I think isset should be used instead. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't an unchecked checkbox not send anything to POST/GET?

vee Over a year ago

@Mike, Yes we could use isset, but empty checks for isset as well, so in this case it doesn't hurt.

Interesting. I could swear that produced a notice or warning.

In your HTML this should be the name:

 <input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue" id="area[4]" value="Double Diamond" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Double Diamond</label>

In your PHP

 if( !empty($_REQUEST) && is_array($arrayValue) ) 
       {

      $arrayValue = array();
      $arrayValue[] = $_REQUEST['arrayValue'];
       }
      $areas = implode(",",$arrayValue); 

 put it in the array first then implode it as a string.

just check by printing php global variable $_REQUEST on your php. You can do it by writing print_r($_REQUEST); if it does not shows anything or black array, make use of $_POST instead of $_REQUEST at each place in php file. Hope it will solve your problem.
