Array in email (phpmailer), how to put into message part

[Simon_4]

I have the follow problem/issue. Would like to have it a bit nicer:

The vars $gender, $shoe_size, $clothing_size and $growth are an array(?).

And I like to have, instead each line with $gender[0] something dynamic...

My problem I have, how I do it exactly, that I get each line as I have at the moment.

Here is my code:

<?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    require('../includes/class.phpmailer.php');
    require('../includes/class.smtp.php');
    require('../includes/class.pop3.php');
    require('../includes/configdb.php');
    //var_dump($_REQUEST);
    $lang               = $_REQUEST["lang"]; //]=> string(2) "en" 
    $type               = $_REQUEST["type"]; //=> string(7) "courses" 
    $firstname          = $_REQUEST["firstname"]; //=> string(5) "Simon"

    $facebook           = $_REQUEST["facebook"]; //=> string(16) "Facebook account" 
    $gender             = $_REQUEST["gender"]; //=> array(2) { [0]=> string(4) "male" [1]=> string(4) "male" } 
    $shoe_size          = $_REQUEST["shoe_size"]; //=> array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "34-35" [1]=> string(5) "40-41" } 
    $clothing_size      = $_REQUEST["clothing_size"]; //=> array(2) { [0]=> string(2) "XS" [1]=> string(0) "" } 
    $growth             = $_REQUEST["growth"]; //=> array(2) { [0]=> string(6) "Height" [1]=> string(0) "" } 
    $course             = $_REQUEST["course"]; //=> string(1) "5" 
    $learning_discount  = $_REQUEST["learning_discount"]; //=> string(3) "yes" 
    $course_option      = $_REQUEST["course_option"]; //=> string(8) "11:16000" 
    $dates              = $_REQUEST["dates"]; //=> string(10) "2014-12-20" 
    $room_type          = $_REQUEST["room_type"]; //=> string(0) "" 
    $room_count         = $_REQUEST["room_count"]; //=> string(1) "1" } 
    $room_nights        = $_REQUEST["room_nights"]; //=> string(1) "1"

It seems all these arrays will have the same size, so you can loop them together, for example:

# read size of one of these arrays
$count = count($_REQUEST['gender']);

# loop
for($i = 0, $e = 1; $i < $count; $i++, $e++)
{
    echo "Student #{$e}: Gender: $gender[$i]    / Shoe-Size: $shoe_size[$i] / Clothing Size: $clothing_size[$i] / Heigth: $growth[$i]<br />";
}

Thank You it worked for me like this.
I changed my code a bit to the follow code:

# read size of one of these arrays
$count = count($_REQUEST['gender']);
# loop
for($i = 0, $e = 1; $i < $count; $i++, $e++)
{
    $studens.= "Student #{$e}: Gender: $gender[$i]    / Shoe-Size: $shoe_size[$i] / Clothing Size: $clothing_size[$i] / Heigth: $growth[$i]<br />";
}

Hi Cereal

I am maybe blind or so... just got nearly the same problem as before. I not get the values of the selectfields. I got 0 - 8 instead of some strings.

Here is the url: http://web159.login-142.hoststar.ch/memberd/de/prices/

Here is my code I use to get it:

# read size of one of these arrays
$count = count($_REQUEST['BX_NAME']);
# loop
for($i = 0, $e = 1; $i < $count; $i++, $e++)
{
$divers.= "Diver/PAX #{$e}: Name: $BX_NAME[$i] / Shoe-Size: $BX_shoesize[$i] / Weight: $BX_weight[$i] / Heigth: $BX_height[$i]<br />";
}

I did a postdump and this works, I mean I get and see what I should get.

Hi!

Each field name of the form must be an array, so for example, change:

<select id="field-BX_height" name="BX_height">

To:

<select id="field-BX_height" name="BX_height[]">

As you are already doing with BX_NAME[], apply the same concept to height and weight and then it should work fine.

It worked out...
