Hey there,

I am trying to setup a checkbox with the uniform plugin, that sends multiple values, when they are checked. Unfortunately I cannot get it work. Is this even possible?

Thanks  
Matthias

@texnixe

Thanks for your reply. It is still not sending.

I registered the fields like this:

```
  $form = new Form([
// Fields
'type' => [],

```

]);

And then in the template:

```
      <ul class="contactForm__type">
        <?php $value = $form->old('type') ?>
        <li>
          <input type="checkbox" id="buero" name="type[]" value="Büroreinigung"<?php e($form->value('Büroreinigung'), ' checked')?>/>
          <label for="buero">Büroreinigung</label>
        </li>
        <li>
          <input type="checkbox" id="glass" name="type[]" value="Glasreinigung"<?php e($form->value('Glasreinigung'), ' checked')?>/>
          <label for="glass">Glasreinigung</label>
        </li>
      </ul>

```

The email template looks currently like this:  
\<?php

```
if (array_key_exists('type', $form)) {
    foreach ($form['type'] as $key => $value) {
    echo $value . "\n";
}
} else {
    echo 'Nichts ausgewählt!' . "\n" . "\n";
}

```

It is simply reloading the form page, instead of sending the mailform and forwarding to the thanks-page. Any ideas?

Hm, I only tested a quick example without Uniform, so I have to install that first. I’ll try to look into this later.

Could you quickly post your complete controller and form for testing?

We are talking Kirby 3, right?

I did a quick test and in my example, the data is sent.

For the form to show the checked values, I had to make the following changes:

```auto
<?php $value = $form->old('type') !== '' ? $form->old('type') : [] ?>
<ul class="contactForm__type">

        <li>
          <input type="checkbox" id="buero" name="type[]" value="Büroreinigung" <?= in_array('Büroreinigung', $value)? 'checked':'' ?>/>
          <label for="buero">Büroreinigung</label>
        </li>
        <li>
          <input type="checkbox" id="glass" name="type[]" value="Glasreinigung" <?= in_array('Glasreinigung', $value)? 'checked':'' ?>/>
          <label for="glass">Glasreinigung</label>
        </li>
</ul>

```

Looks a bit ugly but seems to work.
