Email question - I think I have it, not sure

[kconley]

I'm working on an order form that needs to email the form data back to me and a copy to the customer. I've looked all over these forums at other simular posts and I think I have it, I just need to know if I'm on the right track.

By way of explaination, my form is dynamically created. The user enters the amount of items they want to order and submit. The next page shows fields for Qty, Part Number and Description. If the user entered 5 on the first page, he'd have 5 rows of fields to fill in. I have the form working where it prints out every thing to the browser .

Will the following code work for me to email what has printed to the browser?

if (isset($_POST['order']) && is_array($_POST['qty']) && is_array($_POST['partnum']) && is_array($_POST['desc'])) {

		// Get post variables

		$custno = $_POST['custno'];
		$customer = $_POST['customer'];
		$street = $_POST['street'];
		$city = $_POST['city'];
		$state = $_POST['state'];
		$zip = $_POST['zip'];
		$phone = $_POST['phone'];
		$poc = $_POST['poc'];
		$pocemail = $_POST['pocemail'];
		$email = $_POST['email'];
		$qty = $_POST['qty'];
		$partnum = $_POST['partnum'];
		$desc = $_POST['desc'];
		$arraycount = 0;

$sendto = "$pocemail";  
$bcc = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Company Online Order";
	$message = "Your  Online Order has been sent, here's what you ordered: \r\n$poc \r\n$pocemail \r\n\r\n$custno \r\n$customer \r\n$street \r\n$city, $state, $zip \r\n$phone \r\n$email \r\n\r\nPO Number: $ponumber \r\nShipping Methood: $shipping  \r\nComments: $comment  \r\n\r\n
Item    Qty    Part#    Description\r\n";
for ($lines = 1; ($lines <= $_POST['items']); $lines++) {
  $message .="$lines    $qty[$arraycount]    $partnum[$arraycount]     $desc[$arraycount]\r\n";
  $arraycount++;
    }
  $message = wordwrap($message, 80);
  $headers = 'From: [e-mail]' ."\r\n" . 'Reply-To: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
  mail($sendto, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
//Print the above to browser

In this thread the $message variable is shown as

$message = "A message";
$message .="More message";
$message .="Even more message";

Will this work in my for statement to print the array into the message?

Try the mail functions @ http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

I did a script very similar to yours and this helped.

Perhaps I was unclear on my post. It was pretty late when I posted.

I tried the code that I pasted in above and I do get an email, except this is all that is sent:

[PRE]
Your Online Order has been sent, here's what you ordered:

456000
Customer Name
123 Some Road
City, ST, 12345
123/456-7890
[e-mail]

PO Number:

Shipping Methood:

Comments:

Item Qty Part# Description[/PRE]

Under Item, Qty, Part# and Description should be the items that they ordered.
I'm trying to figure out how exactly to get the data that the "for" part of the code:

for ($i = 1; ($i <= $_POST['items']); $i++) {
      $message .="$i $qty[$arraycount] $partnum[$arraycount] $desc[$arraycount]\r\n";
      $arraycount++;
                }

To work so that it puts the data from the arrays into the message of the email to be sent. I'm doing something wrong but I don't have enough experiance with PHP to know what I'm doing wrong. I do appriciate the link though, and I'm looking at some of the user submitted examples to see if there's something I can base mine off of.

I found my problem with the not sending part. It was just a typo which is fixed now.

My arrays aren't getting printed out though. Instead they just say Array.
So if a customer were to order 5 items, irronically, they would get:
[pre]
Item Qty Part# Description
1 A A A
2 r r r
3 r r r
4 a a a
5 y y y
[/pre]

I need to rethink my array variables

      $message .="$i $qty[$arraycount] $partnum[$arraycount] $desc[$arraycount]\r\n";

Though this output seems to work well with HTML, it's not working the same with my emails....
