one form with checkboxes subscribe to multiple newsletters

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 08.2008

I’m looking for one form that will allow users to subscribe to multiple (3) newsletters at once. They will do this by ticking checkboxes to select/deselect the newsletters they want to subscribe to.

I want to use this to allow my confirmed subscribers to also subscribe to other selected newsletters.

I’ve seen this on other pages but cannot figure out how to do it.

Any solution will be appreciated.

thanks,

Remember that checkboxes with the same name work in a group, and the form will pass their value as an array. However, in your form you should tell explicitly that the checkboxes should pass their value as an array. For example:

[FONT=courier][COLOR=blue]<input type="checkbox" name="state[]" value="NE">



<input type="checkbox" name="state[]" value="IA">



<input type="checkbox" name="state[]" value="MO">[/COLOR][/FONT]
[/QUOTE]
[FONT=courier][/FONT]

So in your case your script should loop through all the elements in the area to see if the box was checked or not.


For example:


[FONT=courier][/FONT][code=php]<?php
$state=$_POST['state'];
foreach ($state as $statename)
{
echo "$statename is checked";
}

?>[/code]


Good luck!

Success!
