Emailed form data has

Hi,

I have my form set up to email the submitted form data to various users from CB based on a drop down box selection. Everything works fine except that when I get the emailed form data, some fields have the word "Array" right before what was submitted as if the user typed it in, but obviously they didn't.

Here's a sample email...Any ideas how to remove the word "Array"?

Hi tidusx18,

What is actually in the Email template? You get 'Array' shown when you try to echo or print an array but you don't usually get the values as well.

Bob,

I'm using the code shown below in the OnSubmit after box to send the emails...

<?php
$category = "Printing";
$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
$message = "

Hi tidusx18,

It's the repeat of $_REQUEST that does it, the first one tries to show the whole $_REQUEST array and gives you the 'Array' message, the second one give you the value.

Change for example $_REQUEST$_REQUEST[Last_name] to $_REQUEST[Last_name] all the way through.

Bob

lol didn't see that😛

Were you by any chance able to find a simpler way to fix the hidden fields still validation problem? Sorry I keep badgering you.

PS: Your solution did work though its just that I have about 22 different selections with different fields being hidden for each selection. Going through all of those and any future similar forms will take a very long time. I was even thinking of switching back to an earlier version of chrono forms.

regards,
Daniel

Hi tidusx18,

It's on my list to look at - but there are a few other things on there too.

Bob

Thank you! 😀
