how to submit form checkboxes to an email address?
I have created an html file accompanied with a php script.
The php script will send the form in html to my email address.
I tested it and everything is perfect but only the checkboxes.
the php script sends me only one option of the checked checkboxes.
how to fix this? Please help and thank you in advance.
MY HTML FILE
<html>
<head>
<style type=text/css>

font-size:18px;
font-family:Calibri;

this is because you have forgotten to add the brackets next to the name of each "checkbox". Try this.
<input type="checkbox" name="vid-type[]" value="Tutorial(s)"> Tutorial(s) (how to)<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vid-type[]" value="Sound effect(s)"> Sound effect(s)<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vid-type[]" value="Experiment(s)"> Experiment(s)<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vid-type[]" value="I watched none of your videos"> I watched none of your videos
When you receive the form in the php, $_POST_['vid-type'] will return an array with the values marked.
Good luck
