Sending Form to email and database
(1/1)
lavertyj:
This is the form I am using. All the input values get sent except the ones labled pick1, pick2, pick 3 and pick 4. All other data gets sent fine but for some strange reason these come across as nothing. I am going out of my mind trying to figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. My code has too many characters to put both the html and the php elements in so if anyone can have a look at this code first for any glitches I would be happy to send them the php that gets called on submit.
--- Code: ---<form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post">
<div class="box">
<p>
<label for='firstname'>First name</label>
<input type="text" name="firstname" maxlength="50" value="<?=$varfirstname;?>" />
</p>
<p>
<label for='lastname'>Last name</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname" maxlength="50" value="<?=$varlastname;?>" />
</p>
<p>
<label for='email'>Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" maxlength="50" value="<?=$varemail;?>" />
</p></div>

Sorry if it looks a little amateurish, but there is a good reason for that..........I am...

Looks like you're missing the closing slash "/" when you're selecting a pick.
<select name="pick1" >
shouldn't it be
<select name="pick1" />

This is only true if there is no closing tag (example: <br/>)
On to some errors...
--- Code: ---<form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post">
--- End code ---
You don't need htmlentities here. just echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
--- Code: ---<select name="Team1" />
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---<select name="Team2" />
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---<select name="Team3"/>
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---<select name="Team4" />
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---<select name="Team5" />
--- End code ---
--- Code: ---<select name="wildcard"/>
--- End code ---
Take the end slashes off here. What you basically say by doing this is that you aren't sending anything after. It doesn't read all the <option> or even the </select> tag after these.
--- Code: ---<select name="pick4" '>
--- End code ---
^ extra ' before the >
Other than all of these, I can't see anything by looking through it.
