Hi everyone,

I have been recently working on a PHP script that e-mails form data to a specific user. The script works fine, although I have a question. Below is what is e-mailed to me upon completion of the form:

(Toggle Plain Text)

A customer has submitted a New Unit Warranty Registration. The details can be found below.
 
Array
(
    [Customer_Name] => bulio
    [E-Mail] => sampleemail@domain.com
    [Model] => SB-III SR+
    [Serial_Number] => 4564045542
    [Engine_Hours] => 4664
    [Part_that_Caused_Failure] => Alternator
    [Repair_Order] => 533-511
    [Cause_of_Claim_Code] => Unknown
    [Cause_of_Failure_Code] => Unknown
    [Correction_Code] => 5463-354
    [Job_Code] => 2883116 
    [body] => Alternator stopped working.
)

My question is, how do I remove the Array () and the [] which is around the Model etc. fields? I assume I need to use a parser, but I haven't seen any examples of how this would be done. I use print_r to pass the form data on to the email script.

Below is my code:

<?php

$subject = "New Unit Warranty Registration";

$message = print_r($_POST, true);

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $from);
echo "Thanks for submitting."

?>

Nevermind, I fixed it by removing print_r and using something else.
