    PHP Help - Adding Text in Variable?

    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?

    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*/
    }
    ?>
