arrays - php form with multiple item checkbox populate excel spreadsheet -


i building form in php send owner email request , link page table show requests. keep getting "array" in output multiple item checklist... here have

<form> <input type="checkbox" name="multimedia[]" value="assessment"    />assessment<br/> <input type="checkbox" name="multimedia[]" value="elearning module" />e-learning module<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="multimedia[]" value="photography" />photography<br />

other

<?php $multimedia = array(); echo implode(',', $_post['multimedia']);  $multimedia_string = implode(',', $multimedia); ?> //variables in each cell $variables = array(); $variables['fname'] = $_post['fname']; $variables['lname'] = $_post['lname']; $variables['email'] = $_post['email']; $variables['projecttitle'] = $_post['projecttitle']; $variables['$multimedia_string'] = $_post['$multimedia_string']; $variables['credentialing'] = $_post['credentialing']; $variables['description'] = $_post['description']; $variables['results_data_page'] = $results_data_page; 

change this:

$variables['$multimedia_string'] = $_post['$multimedia_string']; 

...to:

$variables['multimedia_string'] = implode(',', $_post['multimedia']); 

explanation:

php interprets $_post['multimedia'] array due having square brackets [] after name, in multimedia[], can implode using comma separator , string returned.


there other issues, try instead:

<?php  //variables in each cell $variables = array(); $variables['fname'] = $_post['fname']; $variables['lname'] = $_post['lname']; $variables['email'] = $_post['email']; $variables['projecttitle'] = $_post['projecttitle']; $variables['multimedia_string'] = implode(',', $_post['multimedia']); $variables['credentialing'] = $_post['credentialing']; $variables['description'] = $_post['description']; $variables['results_data_page'] = $results_data_page;  ?> 

issues:

the first 3 lines don't seem anything.

$multimedia = array(); // never populated echo implode(',', $_post['multimedia']);  $multimedia_string = implode(',', $multimedia); // still not populated, implodes empty string. 

a couple things here:

$variables['$multimedia_string'] = $_post['$multimedia_string']; 

php variables not interpolated in single quoted string. in other words, translate php variables variable name $name value, in string, need use either double quotes or heredoc:

echo "i $emotion much.";  $html = <<<eot  <table>   <tr>       <td>we $emotion camping.</td>   </tr> </table>  eot; 

so '$multimedia_string' string containing dollar sign , text "multimedia_string".

the other thing appears there no $_post var name or whatever intended $multimedia_string translate to.
