Implode Issue On PHP Form - php

Question

In spite of the fact that I'll probably look like a complete idiot, I'm going to post my entire files to see what I'm doing wrong.
I have form built into the page like so:
<form method="post" class="form-horizontal" id="final_form" action="send_mail.php">
<h2>Search for your dream home<br />
and save now!</h2>
<legend>Which Areas are you interested in?</legend>
<div class="areas row-fluid" style="text-align:left !important;">
<div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[0]" value="Sparks" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Sparks</label>
</div>
<div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
<label >
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[1]" value="Stead" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Stead</label>
</div>
<div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[2]" value="North Reno" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> North Reno</label>
</div>
<div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
<label >
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[3]" value="South Reno" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> South Reno</label>
</div>
<div class='span5' style='margin-left:0px !important;'>
<label >
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue[]" id="area[4]" value="Double Diamond" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Double Diamond</label>
</div>
</div>
<input type="button" onclick="jQuery('#myModal').modal('show')" value="CONTINUE" />
</div>
</div>

Here is the php

$move = $_REQUEST['move'];

if( !empty($_REQUEST) && is_array($arrayValue) ) {
$arrayValue = array();
$areas = implode("," , $_REQUEST['arrayValue']);
}
$emailfrom = $_REQUEST['email'];
$headers = 'From: '.$emailfrom."\r\n".
$email_to = "test#gmail.com, ";
/* This bit sets the URLs of the supporting pages.

*/
$feedback_page = "index.html";
$thankyou_page = "thankyou.html";
/*

list.
*/
function isInjected($str) {
$injections = array('(\n+)',

'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',

'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
// If the user tries to access this script directly, redirect them to the feedback
form,
if (!isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {
header( "Location: $feedback_page" );
}
// If email injection is detected, redirect to the error page.
elseif ( isInjected($email) ) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}
// If we passed all previous tests, send the email then redirect to the thank you page.
else {
mail( $email_to, "You Have a New Lead",
"Name: $fname\nEmail: $email\nPhone: $phone\nMinBedrooms: $minBedrooms\nMinPrice:
$minPrice\nMove Date: $move\nRealtor: $realtor\nAreas: $areas", $headers );
}
echo "<script>window.location = 'thankyou.html'</script>";
?>
My checkboxes are not returning any values. Does anyone know why? I've worked to make things correct and I think I've got the array set up right thanks to the help of another question, but I think I'm asking the wrong question in my other post.

Answer 1

Your $arrayValue is not defined before the first if statement which is why the is_array($arrayValue) does not succeed. Please try:
if( !empty($_REQUEST['arrayValue'])) {
$arrayValue = array();
$areas = implode("," , $_REQUEST['arrayValue']);
}

Answer 2

In your HTML this should be the name:
<input type="checkbox" name="arrayValue" id="area[4]" value="Double Diamond" style='margin-top:-5px !important;'> Double Diamond</label>
In your PHP
if( !empty($_REQUEST) && is_array($arrayValue) )
{
$arrayValue = array();
$arrayValue[] = $_REQUEST['arrayValue'];
}
$areas = implode(",",$arrayValue);
put it in the array first then implode it as a string.

Answer 3

just check by printing php global variable $_REQUEST on your php. You can do it by writing print_r($_REQUEST); if it does not shows anything or black array, make use of $_POST instead of $_REQUEST at each place in php file. Hope it will solve your problem.
