form mailer

I have a form mailer that is sending me a grocery list by email. I need the items that are checkboxes and the qty to show up side by side in the email. It currently shows up like this in the email:

From : fdgfg

Address : dfgdfg

Delivery Date : dfgdf

Phone : fdgdf

Email : fdgdg

Email Confirm : dfgdf

Comments : dfgdfg

Item Ordered: Active Care-Chicken Brown Rice- 4.4 lb bag Price=$8.99

Item Ordered: Active Care-Chicken Brown Rice- 15 lb bag Price=$22.99

Item Ordered: Active Care-Chicken Brown Rice - 30 lb bag Price=$41.99

QTY: 1 QTY: 2 QTY: 3

I would like to see it show up like this:

Item Ordered: Active Care-Chicken Brown Rice - 30 lb bag Price=$41.99 QTY: 1

Any suggestions or help...Here is the html code for the form:

I'm not trying to flame your question, but if you're starting this out at the beginning,
it would be good if someone pointed out some things that would help you succeed.

With that said ...

I think you're doing it the wrong way, beginning with the form you have.

First of all, I'm assuming you're experimenting with something on the form,
as you have BOX[] and BOX4 ... they are the same item?

And further down the form is a bunch of other groceries that are formatted
totally different than the "Active Care" items.

Which part of the form is the real part?

==============

For things like this, you should be using a database to organize the items.
Each one has an ID, description, price, etc.

A PHP script generates the form from your database, automatically.
That does two things for you:
1) You don't have to edit your form, PHP makes it for you.
2) It makes the handling of quantities very easy. As the script only needs to
know the quantity for each ID. Once the form is submitted, the script opens
the database and generates the invoice using the ID and quantities.

If you end-up having 2000 items in inventory, see where a database will be good?

Make sure if you're using this method:

Code How do I post code blocks?
<?PHP ECHO $_POST[QTY]; ?>

to create a function to ensure that it is set before telling it to echo, else you get some nice little warnings (if warnings are configured) in the header...

example:

Code How do I post code blocks?

<input something something value="<?PHP echo(get_info('QTY')); ?>">
<?PHP
function get_info($fieldname) {
   if(isset($_GET[$fieldname])) {
   return $_GET[$fieldname];
   } else {
   return null;
   }
}
?>

This will make sure that if the super-global $_GET['QTY'] is set and has a value it will echo it, else it will not do anything avoiding errors and warnings =)
