PHP email form

[dgow13]

I have 2 questions. I am new to php programming. I watched the beginner tutorials for php, followed the samples, designed a contact form & thank you page and then sent everything to my email. Everything went just fine. In my email all the information showed up except the radio button and drop down list info. I have no idea how to get that information to send. Any suggestions?

 

Also, How can I structure the contact form, once it shows up in my email, to be organized as follows:

 

Name: Name text

Email: Email text

Phone: Phone text

Comments: Text... and so on?

 

I appreciate your help.

Your PHP mail code needs something like:-

mail( $admin, "Form Feedback: $subject", "$name\n\r$email\n\r$phone\n\r$comments", "From: $name " );

 

where the \n makes the text start a new line and \r means carriage return (a hangover from type writers and as far as I know do the same thing, using only \n seems to work) and $name is the variable relating to the form field name="name"

 

$name = remove_headers($_POST['name']) ;

Thank you. It worked. I just have to figure out how to line it up now so it looks professional and more uniformed.
