Radio Check Button

[fatmcgav]

does anybody know how to add the result of a radio check button onto a php file, so that it gets included in the contents of the email.
i've got a form on my website with a radio check button, that it used to say whether the billing details are the same as the shipping details, but i dont know how to transfer that into the email that gets sent to me when the submit button is pressed.

the php file is as follows:

<?  

   $fmt_Response=implode("", file("thanks.htt")); 
        $fmt_Mail=implode("", file("mail.htt")); 

    while(list($Key, $Val)= each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { 
         $fmt_Response=str_replace("{$Key}", $Val, $fmt_Response); 
         $fmt_Mail=str_replace("{$Key}", $Val, $fmt_Mail); 
    } 

   $description = $HTTP_POST_VARS["description"]; 
   $price = $HTTP_POST_VARS["price1"]; 
   $quantity = $HTTP_POST_VARS["qty"]; 
   $order_sub_total = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ordersub"]; 
   $postage_and_packaging = $HTTP_POST_VARS["pandp"]; 
   $order_grand_total = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ordergrandtotal"]; 
   $ship_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_name"]; 
   $ship_address = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_address"]; 
   $ship_city = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_city"]; 
   $ship_area = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_area"]; 
   $ship_postcode = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_postcode"]; 
   $ship_country = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_country"]; 
   $ship_phone_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_phone"]; 
   $ship_email = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ship_email"];    

   $bill_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_name"]; 
   $bill_address = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_address"]; 
   $bill_city = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_city"]; 
   $bill_area = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_area"]; 
   $bill_postcode = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_postcode"]; 
   $bill_country = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_country"]; 
   $bill_phone_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_phone"]; 
   $bill_email = $HTTP_POST_VARS["bill_email"]; 
   $card_type = $HTTP_POST_VARS["card_type"]; 
   $cardholder_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["card_name"]; 
   $card_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["card_number"]; 
   $card_check_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["card_check_no"]; 
   $card_valid_from_issue_number = $HTTP_POST_VARS["card_value_issue_no"]; 


   $mailText = "$fmt_Mail \n\t 
   Order Details: \n\t 
   Qty: $quantity \n\t 
   Postage & Packaging: $postage_and_packaging \n\t 
   Order Total: $order_grand_total \n\t    

   Shipping Information: \n\t 
   Name: $ship_name \n\t 
   Address: $ship_address \n\t 
   City: $ship_city \n\t 
   Area: $ship_area \n\t 
   Postcode: $ship_postcode \n\t 
   Country: $ship_country \n\t 
   Phone Number: $ship_phone_number \n\t 
   Email: $ship_email \n\t 

   Billing Details: \n\t 
   Name: $bill_name \n\t 
   Address: $bill_address \n\t 
   City: $bill_city \n\t 
   Area: $bill_area \n\t 
   Postcode: $bill_postcode \n\t 
   Country: $bill_country \n\t 
   Phone Number: $bill_phone_number \n\t 
   Email: $bill_email \n\t 

   Credit Card Details: \n\t 
   Card Type: $card_type \n\t 
   Cardholder Name: $cardholder_name \n\t 
   Card Number: $card_number \n\t 
   Card Check Number: $card_check_number \n\t 
   Valid From Date/Issue Number (switch only): $card_valid_from_issue_number \n\t"; 

    mail($HTTP_POST_VARS["recipient"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["subject"], $mailText ); 
    echo $fmt_Response; 
   ?>

the radio check button is as follows:

<NOBR><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" CHECKED NAME="Bill Address same" VALUE="" >Check if same as shipping address</NOBR>

anyhelp would be greatly appreicated.

well, you have a name for the var but you have no value to it so even though you are passing the var through you wouldn't know on the other end if it was checked or not. what you need to do is give it a value like:

...<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" CHECKED NAME="Bill Address same" VALUE="yes" >Check if same as shipping address....

and then on the other side do whatever it is you need to do based on the 'yes' value

also - you will need to change the name to disclude spaces as that will cause you problems so i would change things to be:

input form:

...<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" CHECKED NAME="BillAddressSame" VALUE="yes" >Check if same as shipping address....

recieving script:

if($BillAddressSame == "yes") {
//do 'address is the same' code here
} else {
//do alternate address here

}

hope that helps

[edit: nm, psyjoniz beat me to it]

Check it and catenate some statement about it like:

if ($_POST['bill_address_same'] == 'yes')
      $mailText .= 'Billing address is the same as shiping address'."\n\t";
else
      $mailText .= $_POST['shipping_address'];
