My emails are mangled

I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm missing something since upgrading to latest V5. But a form I've been working on all day and finally finished to start testing the submit-to-email is sending me mangled emails. I have the email form set to auto. Here's a sample of the email:

Permanent Address 123 mocking bird lane
array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )
array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )
array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )
Telephone Number
array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )
Are you 18 years of age or older? 1

array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'top', )
If yes, who?

Position
Date Available
Desired Wage

The formatting is messed up and I don't know why "array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )" is showing up in the message?

Hi euoceo,

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab in CFv4 or the Setup tab in CFv5.

I noticed also, most of my custom fields (headings/etc) are not being added to the auto generated email, V4 does this fine. I'll have a debug shortly.

Errors start at the first multiform field. I'll PM you with form url.

Playing around with my form, the "array ( 'text' => '', 'position' => 'left', )" is getting put in on multiform fields that have an empty label. When I add label text, then the label is displayed. But of course this defeats the purpose of a multi-field item since the idea is to be able to put boxes like :"Name ____________ ______________ ___________" with multiple fields but one label. Seems like a bug to me?

Hi euoceo,

This must be a bug then, please send me a form backup, or attach a demo form backup here so I can test this.

I actually started a new test form, one multi-field item of:

Multi-Field ______________ _________________ ________________________

So very easy to create.

Here's what the auto email created, the start of the 2nd field is mangled.

<table>
<tr><td>Multi-Field1</td><td>{text1}</td></tr>
<tr><td>array (
'text' => '',
'position' => 'left',
)</td><td>{text2}</td></tr>
<tr><td>array (
'text' => '',
'position' => 'left',
)</td><td>{text3}</td></tr>
</table>

Whoops, hit the "best answer" button for my question, not the one I wanted. Don't see a way that I can fix that, Still getting used to this board, would be nice if the OP could edit their posts for corrections/typoes? Thanks again.

Not a big problem!🙂

We have post editing disabled because sometimes spam bots use this to post spam.
