Email form variables

kloday

Hi,

I would like to email the results of form input after it has been displayed on a page for review. Currently the steps are:

Enter form and click button to "review order"

The following is the code that processes the input and either displays errors and asks the user to review and correct previous page or displays the order and asks user to finalize the order and submit it. I have the email being sent properly with the email.php file - but the variables are empty.... can anyone please help?

Thank you,
-Kara

kloday

dagon

move up in to the echo

..add all the values..

<input type="submit" value="Submit Your Order" />
</form>

kloday

I really appreciate your help, but honestly I am so new at this it is hard for me to understand your suggestions. What do you mean "move up in to the echo"? Which code are you refering to: the original posted or the mail code?

If you can please show me where this belongs within my code by using a couple of lines from the code I pasted and also telling me which it belongs to (original or mail code) I would greatly appreciate it! Again, very very new at this and need hand holding. Thank you so much for your assistance and patience with me.
