	$Signed = trim($_POST['Signed']);
	$Time = trim($_POST['Time']);			
	$emailTo = '[email protected]';
	$subject="C3 Referral Form";
	//Plain text email: $body = "Student Name: $name \n\n Tutor Group: $tutor \n\n Staff Member: $staff \n\n Date of Incident: $doi \n\n Period: $period \n\n Subject: $subject1 \n\n C1 Rule broken: $C1Rule \n\n C2 Rule Broken: $C2Rule \n\n C3 Rule Broken: $C3Rule \n\n C1 Explanation: $C1 \n\n C2 Explanation: $C2 \n\n C3 Explanation: $C3 \n\n Time sent to BFL: $Time \n\n Signed: $Signed \n\n";

I could leave it as it is now as it's at the point where they could use it, but i want to do the following:

On the form itself (going away from the email bit for a moment) i'd like to have Two boxes on one line, im not sure how to achive this? doing it the dumb person way of dragging the box and plonking it next to the other one just makes it squash next to the other one

[LosOjos]

I always find tables the easiest way to format HTML, just give them invisible borders so they don't ruin your layout

[mrbios]

Morning, i have another issue, hopefully just a simple fix this time...

 

If i have check boxes when checked and submitted to email they say "on" or are just blank, is there a way to change this "on" to "yes" ?

 

EDIT: never mind, that was incredibly simple, i blame the fact it's morning
