Show array value in checkboxes & save array key in Email and Database

mauropiro 18 Sep, 2018
Hello,

I have a form with the checkboxes component that receives the following array from my <clients> database table (read_data):

Array(
[david@company.com] => DAVID
[renata@company.com] => RENATA
)

On the browser I can see two check boxes: DAVID and RENATA, but in the email and in the database I need to be written:

david@company.com, renata@company.com

How can I do that?

Thank you

Hi Mauro,

The simplest way is probably to set the dropdown values to be the email addresses; though ideally it is better not to show those in the form where they are visible to be scraped. An alternative solution is to add a Custom PHP action to look up the addresses and add them to the form data. There is a FAQ that shows you how to do that.

Just have the checkboxes as DAVID:DAVID etc, then read the database to get the email addresses when you need them.
