Hello,
Trying to process a form with 2 sets of checkboxes and sending results in email but getting stumped.
In the processing page, I'm scrubbing data with function check_input then inserting it into the email body.
As is, the script is returning bad arguments and cannot modify header info. The culprits:
$flooringType = implode(', ', $_POST['flooringType']);
$roomsFlooring = implode(', ', $_POST['$roomsFlooring']);
If I use only 1 implode statement, the script works and properly parses data, but with both implode statements in there it errors out.
process.php:
Your input is greatly appreciated!
