    in an email...I am struggling with buiding an array to send this info

    mail() function. Any help appreciated... Thanks very much!

    <body>
    <br>
    <b>Please select the information you'd like to
    receive:</b>
    <br>

    <form method="post"
    action="checked 2.php"><br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="foo[]"
    value="Auto">Au to Insurance
    <input type="checkbox" name="foo[]"
    value="Life">Li fe Insurance
    <input type="checkbox" name="foo[]"
    value="Home">Ho me Insurance

    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    <input type="reset" value="Clear">
    </form>

    <?php

    echo "You have chosen to receive information on: \n\n";


    // check to be sure at least one option was selected<br>

    $foo = $_POST['foo'];
    if (count($foo) > 0) {
    // loop through the array
    for ($i=0;$i<count( $foo);$i++) {

    // do something - this can be a SQL query, echoing data to the
    browser, or whatever

    echo "<li>$foo[$i]\n";

    } // end "for" loop

    } // endif
    echo "<br>";
    echo "insurance products.\n";
    ?>

      So far so good.

      $bodyOfEmail = "";

      Why use this if-statement?
      If count($foo) is 0, you will not enter the loop.
      Remove it for clarity's sake.

      $bodyOfEmail .= $foo[$i]."\n";

      Now add insurance product if you like to $bodyOfEmail, and go mailing.
