sending checkbox data in table through mail - php

Question

I am trying to send selected check-box data through mail in the tables structure but getting below error:
implode(): Invalid arguments passed
static function mcontent($chkbox){
$sql = "SELECT station,reach,language,rate FROM `radio_city` where chkid in (".implode(',', $chkbox).")";
return DB::select($sql);
}
Please help.

Answer 1

Your problem is here
$chkbox = $_GET['checkbox'];
$mailrslt = Radio::mcontent($chkbox);
implode requires the second parameter (or the first if only one is supplied) to be an array. You are providing mcontent with a string that you get from the input. So when you reach implode inside mcontent, you are trying to convert a string to a string.
So you must either create an array with one or more variables to be passed to your function, or remove the implode from the function.
I would try to help more but honestly I don't understand much from your code and it would be a guessing game.
