Thank you

Your mail form and the processor are very dangerous.

And you did not insert the whole inputs.

Your can add the options, like this:

$message.= "options:" . (isset($_POST['options'])? implode(", " , array_map("htmlspecialchars" , $_POST['options'])):" not selected ")  ."<br />" ;// Multimple select box

[Daniel_Bibby]

Thank you for that but where do I need to post it?

Many Thanks

[djjjozsi]

you don't have multiple teg and size teg in your select box.

<select name="options[]" type="options" size="6" multiple>

And my previous code attaches the several options by a comma.

echo out the $message , and while you're testing remove the header location.

And please use the php bb tags around your php codes.

Thank you what about the echo thing?

Many Thanks

echo "testing: <br />".htmlspecialchars($message);

//header( "Location: http://www.datanetuk.com/thankyou.shtml" );

You did not add a value to $email:
add this line:

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

If this is working, then go and download an email class, like phpmyailer.

Remove the comment signs if the mail arrives

Did you get anything error, or a useful output.
Do you see the email $message?

Here is an edited version, in your form you had too much misstyped html tags, the input type need to be: text
package is here

[Daniel_Bibby]

Thank you very much it looks like that is working fine 🙂
