Hi all-
I’m new to PHP and I’m having issues with a form I’ve been working on that includes checkboxes as an array. The form mostly works- everything emails back to me just fine and the thank you page redirects as it should. The only problem is that, if I check more than one box (as I’m expecting most users will), it only returns the results of the last box I checked.
I’m not sure how much code you need, so I’ll give what I think would be helpful. Let me know if you need more. Any help is MUCH appreciated. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
HTML:
[code]
All fields with an asterisk are required.
<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><label for="name"><small>Full Name*</small></label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" size="40" /></td>

<p>
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit Form" />

</form>[/code]
And the PHP:
[php]<?php
// First, make sure the form was posted from a browser.
// For basic web-forms, we don’t care about anything
// other than requests from a browser:
if(!isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’])){
die(“Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page”);
exit;
}
// Make sure the form was indeed POST’ed:
// (requires your html form to use: action=“post”)
if(!$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_METHOD’] == “POST”){
die(“Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page”);
exit;
}
// Host names from where the form is authorized
// to be posted from:
$authHosts = array(“domain.com”);
// Where have we been posted from?
$fromArray = parse_url(strtolower($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]));
// Test to see if the $fromArray used www to get here.
$wwwUsed = strpos($fromArray[‘host’], “www.”);
// Attempt to defend against header injections:
$badStrings = array(“Content-Type:”,
“MIME-Version:”,
“Content-Transfer-Encoding:”,
“bcc:”,
“cc:”);
// Loop through each POST’ed value and test if it contains
// one of the $badStrings:
foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
foreach($badStrings as $v2){
if(strpos($v, $v2) !== false){
logBadRequest();
header(“HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden”);
exit;
}
}
}
// Made it past spammer test, free up some memory
// and continue rest of script:
unset($k, $v, $v2, $badStrings, $authHosts, $fromArray, $wwwUsed);
$name = $_POST[‘name’] ;

header(“Location: thanks.html”);
exit;
