I have a form which has the following: ( quick clip )
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post"
action="http://www.abc.com/processing/process_form.php"; onSubmit="return
preSubmit();">
<label>
<input name="area_interest" type="checkbox" id="field13"
value="Peer Guide" />
Peer Guide</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
When the form runs process_form.php it emails the content and has several
other fields from the form, but I have some fields like the one above that
don't show up in the result. The script that builds the message looks like
the below
$temp_message .= "Area(s) of Interest: ".
$_POST['area_interest'] ."\n";
Is there anything obvious that I am missing?
Is there a way for me to show all the fields from the form, and their field
names which are received by process_form?
Thanks!

Check boxes (assuming you have more than one in the set) are generally
coming in as an array. You can see this by running this
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
to see the entire post array
+1 for Bastien; print_r() and var_dump() are the keys to debugging.
See http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10240608
for a decent overview of same.
And I guess you could reinvent the wheel, or actually process your
POSTed data, with foreach():
// Roll your own print_r()
foreach ($_POST as $p => $q) {
echo $p. "-".$q. "<br />";
}
// Or do_something_useful()
foreach ($_POST as $p => $q) {
do_something_useful($p,$q);
}
