handling checkbox values in email form with php - php

Question

I have gone through a bunch of question posts, and found one person with the same issue as me, but the answer he/she received I did not find to help at all.
I created a form which uses checkboxes. Once submitted my entire form is processed beautifully and I do receive the mail, but when it comes to the checkboxes it only displays "Array" in the email in stead of the checked checkbox values....
What am I doing wrong?
HTML Form Code: as requested, the full form
<form name="busquoteform" method="post" action="FormToEmail.php">
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact Information</legend>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="40%">
<label><strong>Name *:</strong></label><br/>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" value="" />
</td>
<td width="10%"> </td>
<td width="40%">
<label><strong>Lastname *:</strong></label><br />
<input name="lname" type="text" id="lname" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="25%">
<label><strong>Contact Number:</strong></label><br/>
<input name="contactno" type="text" id="contactno" value="" />
</td>
<td width="25%">
<label><strong>Mobile Number * </strong></label><br/>
<input name="mobno" type="text" id="mobno" value="" />

<td width="40%">

<input name="email" type="text" id="email" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
<br/>
<fieldset>
<legend>Company Information</legend>

<input name="suburb" type="text" id="suburb" value="Suburb" size="30" /><br/>

</td>

</table>
</fieldset>
<br/>
<fieldset>
<legend>Project Information</legend>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<label><strong>Service Type/s*:</strong></label><br/>
Please select all applicable types.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Graphic Design <input name="serviceType[]" id="design" type="checkbox" value="Graphic Design" />
Web Development <input name="serviceType[]" id="webdev" type="checkbox" value="Web Development" />
Application Development <input name="serviceType[]" id="appdev" type="checkbox" value="App Development" />
Embroidery <input name="serviceType[]" id="embroidery" type="checkbox" value="Embroidery" />
Engraving <input name="serviceType[]" id="engrave" type="checkbox" value="Engraving" /><br/><br/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<label><strong>Please supply a detailed description of your requirements*:</strong></label><br/>
<textarea name="projectDes" cols="60" rows="10" id="projectDes"></textarea>
<br/><br/>
<input name="quoteBus" type="submit" class="ZD-button" value="Send Request"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</form>
and the php processing code:
$mailBody = "Name : ".$_REQUEST['name']. " ".$_REQUEST['lname'].
" <br/>Email : ".$_REQUEST['email'].
" <br/>Contact No : ".$_REQUEST['contactno']. " Mobile No: ".$_REQUEST['mobno'].
"<br/><br/>Company Name : ".$_REQUEST['compname'].
" <br/>Postion Held : ".$_REQUEST['position'].
"<br/><br/>Company Address : <br/>".$_REQUEST['street']."<br/>".$_REQUEST['suburb']."<br/>".$_REQUEST['city']."<br/>".$_REQUEST['code'].
"<br/><br/> Service Type/s :" .(is_array($_REQUEST['serviceType'])?implode("\n", $_REQUEST['serviceType']):$_REQUEST['serviceType'])."<br />".
"<br/><br/>Details of Project : ".$_REQUEST['projectDes'];
I've also tried:
" Service Type/s :" .$serviceType = $_POST["serviceType"];$serviceType = implode(', ', $serviceType);"".
and also does not seem to work...
I got this code from a project my hubby did a while back - but he is not a php developer, he's into Java...
Help Please?

Answer 1

Update
I just tried your code and it works fine, and results what you want. So can you please show your <form> tag.
Code that I tested
<?php
echo (is_array($_REQUEST['serviceType']) ? implode("\n", $_REQUEST['serviceType']) : $_REQUEST['serviceType']);
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Graphic Design <input name="serviceType[]" id="design" type="checkbox" value="Graphic Design" />
Web Development <input name="serviceType[]" id="webdev" type="checkbox" value="Web Development" />
Application Development <input name="serviceType[]" id="appdev" type="checkbox" value="App Development" />
Embroidery <input name="serviceType[]" id="embroidery" type="checkbox" value="Embroidery" />
Engraving <input name="serviceType[]" id="engrave" type="checkbox" value="Engraving" /><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Answer 2

Hm, that's strange.. It should show all the serviceType values seperated by \n, due to this line:
(is_array($_REQUEST['serviceType'])?implode("\n", $_REQUEST['serviceType']):$_REQUEST['serviceType'])
What if you change $_REQUEST to $_POST?

Answer 3

You can use foreach this way:
$serviceTypes = "";
if (is_array($_REQUEST['serviceType']))
{
foreach ($_REQUEST['serviceType'] as $serviceType)
{
$serviceTypes.= "$serviceType\n";
}
}
It's a possibility.
