How would I go about changing the way multiple selected checkboxes would be listed in an email?

Currently, if I have a bunch of checkboxes all with the same name, and therefore creating an array, in the email they show up as:

Is there any way to get the email process to parse that array into a list format instead? I'd like the email to end up as:

I know I could do the form so that the checkboxes are all separate database entries rather than an array, but I don't really want to do that... plus, that would mean potentially a bunch of blank space in the email if some of the checkboxes aren't checked.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

You can add some PHP in the OnSubmit Before box to 'process' the values into an html list. If you are saving thr data in the database then you'll need to save the html list in a new variable and use that in the email template.

You may hit the problem that with ChronoForms processing sequence (string substitution is done before the OnSubmit Before code runs) in which case you'll need to add a placeholder like ##@## to the template and use str_replace to substitute the new value.
