PHP Array Output Error - php

Question

When I submitted the form data, I received this error on Line 13 (array_push($order,$add_order);) of my PHP code: "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()..."
What's the best way to get this PHP code working?.
Here is the current email output (None of the data seems to be sending properly except for the Name & Phone number field):
Name: Alex
Phone: [phone]
Item: Array
Quantity:
Add:
Message:
PHP:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "test#mywebsite.com";
$subject = "New Order";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$order = array();
foreach($_POST['item'] as $item => $name) {
if ($_POST['quantity_'.$name] > 0) {
$add_order = array('pretty'=>$_POST['pretty-name_'.$name],'qty'=>$_POST['quantity_'.$name],'message'=>$_POST['message_'.$name]);
array_push($order,$add_order);
}
}
$body = "From: $name_field\nE-Mail: $email_field\n";
$body .= "Their Order:\n";
foreach ($order as $item){
$body .= "--".$item['qty']."x ".$item['pretty']."\n
Extra: ".$item['message']."\n\n";
}
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
}
?>

Answer 1

If item has no values anywhere it wont get posted to the receiving page.
Use isset to check if the value exists and is_array to check if it's an array.
