[RESOLVED] HTML form and PHP -help!

firefly101

Hi all PHP Builder community,

I have a HTML contact feedback form on my site. I've got the name, e-mail, web URL, results coming to me as they should. But what I'm having trouble with is the drop down box results. I want the user to be able to select their choice from a drop down box and then have that info be included in the feedback results I get sent to me along with their other information. Here's some of the code from the PHP form.

$mail->From = $POST["email"];
$mail->FromName = $POST["name"];
$mail->Phone = $POST["phone_no"];
$mail->Website = $POST["website"];
$mail->Interested_in = $POST["Interested_in"];
$mail->AddAddress("heather@xxxxxxxxxxx",$username); //$mail->addBCC($POST["email"],$_POST["name"]);
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML

$mail->Subject = "From xxxxxxxx Website";
$mail->Body = $POST["comments"]."<br>From:".$POST["name"]."<br>Email:".$POST["email"]."<br>Phone number:".$POST["phone_no"]."<br>Website:".$POST["website"]."<br>Interested in:".$POST["Interested_in"];

if(!$mail->Send())

I'm not really a programmer, but I understand that it has something to do with passing the variables? Say the choices on the form are: red, blue, green, yellow.

Thank you for your help and expertise!!!

It's the same as any other form entry: the selected value will be in the $POST array indexed by the same of the applicable <select> element in the form. E.g.: if the select is <select name="color">, then the selected option's value will be available in $POST['color'].

Hi NogDog,

Thank you so much for your help, I did exactly what you said and it worked like a charm! You ROCK!

I have two other things I'd like to do, one is I want the user be able to browse their files upload and send me a file via the same contact form. I have the HTML in the doc, but I need the script to make it work. I also would like to redirect them to a thank you page when they hit submit, instead of sending them a text message.

Thank you in advance!

Here's the code I have so far....

if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "<b>Your query was not sent. Please try again later.<b>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
else
echo "<b>Thank you for your interest in xxxxxx! Someone from our sales team will contact you within 2 business days.</b>";
