Problem with mailform + PHP

enjoiskater

Hello again everybody

I´m right know trying to learn how to make a mail script with radiobuttons. I have made one without radiobuttons and that works but when I want to have radiobuttons in the script it stops to work, so I need help with that.

This is my form for the script:

<html>
<head>
<title>Kontakt</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Kontakta oss </h2>

<form name="kontakt" method="post" action="formmail.php">
Name:<br>
<input name="name" type="text" size="30">
<br>
Subject:<br>
<input name="subject" type="text" size="30">
<br>
email:<br>
<input name="email" type="text" size="30">
<br>
Message:<br>
<textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="5"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="radio" name="game" value="Ninja Gaiden II"> Ninja Gaiden II
<br>
<input type="radio" name="game" value="Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots"> Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
<br />
<br />
<input name="submit" type="submit"
value="Send Message">
</form>

</body>
</html>

This is the script to send the e-mail:

<?php

// anger en variabel som kan lagra de eventuella felaktigheterna
$errors = array();

// kontrollera om ett Namn angivits
if (!$_POST["name"])
$errors[] = "- ditt namn";

// kontrollera om ett Ämne angivits
if (!$_POST["subject"])
$errors[] = "- ärende i ämnesraden";

// kontrollera om en Epostadress angivits
if (!$_POST["email"])
$errors[] = "- din epostadress";

// kontrollera om ett Meddelande angivits
if (!$_POST["message"])
$errors[] = "- inget meddelande har skrivits!";

// om felaktig information finns visas detta meddelande
if (count($errors)>0){
echo "<strong>Följande information måste anges innan du kan skicka formuläret:</strong><br />";
foreach($errors as $fel)
echo "$fel <br />";
echo "<br />Ange den information som saknas och skicka formuläret igen. Tack! <br />";
echo "<a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>klicka här för att komma tillbaka till formuläret</a>";
}

else {
// formuläret är korrekt ifyllt och informationen bearbetas
$to = "tobias.j@spelkontroll.net";
$from = $_POST["email"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$game = $_POST["game"];

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $game, "From: $name <$from>"))
echo nl2br("<h2>Your Message has been sent!</h2>
<b>Reciver:</b> $to
<b>Subject:</b> $subject
<b>Message:</b>
$message
");

 else
 echo "The message is not sent";
}

?>

Shouldn`t the mail function be only :

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$from>"))

But if I only write

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$from>"))

Then it dosen´t send the value of my radiobuttons.

add the game var to your message then use the normal function:

// formuläret är korrekt ifyllt och informationen bearbetas
$to = "tobias.j@spelkontroll.net";
$from = $_POST["email"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$game = $_POST["game"];

//This bit
$message .= "/r/nGame selection: ".$game;

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$from>"))
echo nl2br("<h2>Your Message has been sent!</h2>
<b>Reciver:</b> $to
<b>Subject:</b> $subject
<b>Message:</b>
$message
");

 else
 echo "The message is not sent";
}

You may also want to look into send HTML mail instead, it will look nicer.

Okej, if I only would like to mail radiobuttons how does that work? Because I´m going to have a competetion on my site and I would like to have 3 groups of radiobuttons there each group has 3 diffrent answer to choose. How do I do then is it the same but I choose to have message hidden and then write the 3 groups answer in the message or is there a better way?

And I got an answer to look on send HTML mail instead does anyone know where I can read about that?

Give each radio group a different name then do the same as the previous post. So if you have three radio groups named "radiogrp1", radiogrp2 and radiogrp2:

// formul&#228;ret &#228;r korrekt ifyllt och informationen bearbetas
$to = "tobias.j@spelkontroll.net";
$from = $_POST["email"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$game = $_POST["game"];
$grp1= $_POST["radiogrp"];
$grp2= $_POST["radiogrp2"];
$grp3= $_POST["radiogrp3"];

//This bit
$message .= "/r/n Game selection: ".$game;
$message .= "/r/n Radio Group 1: ".$grp1;
$message .= "/r/n Radio Group 2: ".$grp2;
$message .= "/r/n Radio Group 3: ".$grp3;


if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$from>"))
echo nl2br("<h2>Your Message has been sent!</h2>
<b>Reciver:</b> $to
<b>Subject:</b> $subject
<b>Message:</b>
$message
");

 else
 echo "The message is not sent";
}
