Really Simple PHP Question

[Major_Disaster]

Hi,

Im very rusty / new to all this, and just wanted a quick hand. I have a PHP contact form set up and working. I want to add in a "Request callback" with a checkbox. Then if checked, the email will say something like "Call back request? Yes", or if not Call back request? No"

Im struggling with the code. So far ive got:

// Customer callback?
if ($_POST['checkbox'] == "1") {
echo "checked=\"true\"";
	else {
	echo
$callback = 'Customer requests a call back?'
}

As you can see im not really sure what im doing!

Cheers for any help

If you are validating your form, you will need to ensure that checkbox status is remembered on form processing (or postback), see:

Thanks for the help. I think ive cracked it:

// Customer callback?
if ($_POST['checkbox'] == "1") {
	$requestCall = 'Yes';
	} else {
	$requestCall = 'No';
	}
		
$callBack = 'Customer requests a call back? <strong>'.$requestCall.'</strong>';

Look any good?

Looks fine, although this is slightly neater/shorter:

if($_POST['checkbox']) {
$callBack = 'The customer has requested a call back.';
}
echo $callBack;

Just depends if you really want it so "No" if it's null or not.

 

[Pho]

if($_POST['checkbox'])
   $callBack = 'The customer has requested a call back.';
echo $callBack;

// or

if($_POST['checkbox']) $callBack = 'The customer has requested a call back.';
echo $callBack;

Shorter again .

 

[Mattus]

if($_POST['checkbox']) echo "The customer has requested a call back.";

Bah! I thought I'd be able to shorten it further using a ternary statement, I come out 3 characters more than Mattus

echo ($_POST['checkbox']) ? 'The customer has requested a call back.' : '';

 

[Russinating]

echo ($_POST['cb']) ? 'Callback' : '';

Do I win the short prize?

 

[fini]

if($_POST['cb']) echo "<img src='cb.jpg'/>";

EDIT: bah Russinating!

 

[Talbs13]

$cb=$_POST['cb']; if($cb) echo "Call Bk Pls";

Win?
