Boolean doesn’t display anything, you I’ll need to :
$boolean === true ? “True”:”false”
In order to display text instead of your Boolean.
Edit : my bad I half read the code, I saw checkbox type so I expected value to be true/false. So you’re right the text should display correctly with your code.
Try This
if (isset($_POST['sports'])){
$sports = $_POST['sports'];
foreach($sports as $sport)
{
echo $sport;
}
}
This is my first time posting so any feedback on my question would be appreciated.
I am trying to echo out the value of a text box form using php.
This is my html code:
<form action="exercise-3.php" method="POST">
<div class="input-container">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" id="sports" value="soccer"> Soccer</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" id="sports" value="football"> Football</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" id="sports" value="tennis"> Tennis</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" id="sports" value="swimming"> Swimming</label>
</div>
Above is only the relevant part of my form code.
Below is my php code to echo out the values:
if (isset($_POST['sport'])){
$sport = $_POST['sport'];
}
<p>
<strong>sports:</strong>
<?php if(!empty($_POST['sport'])){
foreach($_POST['sport'] as $selected){
echo $selected."</br>";
}
}?>
</p>
When I debug it, it throws no errors but nothing comes up. not sure what I am doing wrong.
In your html you called it’s sports, but in PHP you are referring to sport.
Try print_r($_POST[‘sports’]); that will dump the entire content.
