Handling Multiple Checkbox Values

[mtippery1]

Hi. I have created an HTML form that includes a few checkbox groups that I would like the visitors to be able to check all values that apply to them. I have searched online and have tried figuring out a way to have multiple values handled and emailed to my account. I do not know that much about PHP so can someone PLEASE help me. Thanks so much in advance.

Here is what I have so far:

(HTML form)


<form action="volunteer-form2.php" method="post">
<table width="595" class="style8">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Your Interested In Volunteering For: (check all that apply)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="177" height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Home Repairs" /> Home Repairs</td>
<td width="177"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Yard Maintenance" /> Yard Maintenance</td>
<td width="219"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Gardening" /> Gardening</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Fund Raising" /> Fund Raising</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Special Events" /> Special Events</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Public Relations" /> Public Relations</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Driving" /> Driving</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Mentoring Children" /> Mentoring Children</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Special Programs For Families" /> Special Programs For Families</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="30" colspan="3"><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Organizing Supplies" /> Organizing Supplies In Our Warehouse Facilities</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="10" colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

(PHP Code)


<?php

$to = "myemail@hotmail.com" ;
$from = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['firstname'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "Web Inquiry";

$fields = array();
$fields{"firstname"} = "Name";
$fields{"lastname"} = "Last Name";
$fields{"street"} = "Address";
$fields{"city"} = "City";
$fields{"state"} = "State";
$fields{"zip"} = "Zip";
$fields{"phone"} = "Phone Number";
$fields{"email"} = "Email Address";
$fields{"contactpreference"} = "Contact Preference";
$fields{"contacttime"} = "Best Time To Contact";
$fields{"email"} = "Email Address";
$fields{"learn"} = "Learned About The Program";
$fields{"interested"} = "Interested In";
$fields{"available"} = "Available";
$fields{"medicalconditions"} = "Medical Conditions";
$fields{"emergencycontact"} = "Emergency Contact";
$fields{"contactphone"} = "Emerency Contact Phone";
$fields{"contactemail"} = "Emergency Contact Email";
$fields{"comments"} = "Question or Comment";

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: noreply@mysitename.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have any more questions, please visit our website at www.mysitename.com";


if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send) {header( "Location: thankyou.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify our webmaster at myemail@hotmail.com"; }
}}

?>

I am not seeing how the form and the php are related. The values you are asking for in the form don't match up in any way that I can see to the php code you have posted.
