PHP Help - Adding Text in Variable? - vBulletin Community Forum

This is a very basic example/concept

PHP Code:


<?php

/*Check for incoming form submit.. create your own error*/

if( isset($_POST['do']) AND $_POST['do'] == 'submitform' )

{

    $string = "User has requested information on:\n\n";

    foreach($_POST as $post)

    {

        if($post != 'do')

        {

            $string .= $post."\n";

        }

    }

    /*nl2br is just to fix display, not required.. 

    your mail handler would go in here*/

    echo nl2br($string); 

    exit();

}

else

{

    /*Do something else as the form has not been set*/

}

?>

Hello Guys... I've got a form where I'm submitting information over to a PHP script. In that script, I've got the information being sent to my e-mail address as well as being posted back to the person who entered the information.

I have 10 check boxes about different products we offer and when they select the item, I want it to be displayed in the email as:

Wants more info on: Product1Name, Product2Name, etc

or even as

Wants more info on:
Product1Name
Product2Name
etc

I thought it was be something like:

Code:

 
$moreinfo =""; 
 
if ($moreinfo1 == "Yes") {
$moreinfo = $moreinfo + "Product 1";
}

and then have that for each of the products I have. Then in the end I would have $moreinfo as a list of whichs buttons they selected.

When I have it like that, it prints out a "0" for the value instead of "Product 1, Product 2, etc".

Am I doing something wrong in that statement? I know it works for values where $moreinfo would be 1 and we would be adding numbers, but is this the only way those statements work (in a number value) or am I just entering something wrong?
