Please add any errors or descriptions of problems you are having. “Doesn’t work” makes it a lot harder to help.
Yes Sorry. Here’s the errors I am getting- Undefined index errors

[php]if ($_POST[‘submit’]) {[/php]
this line checks if the value of $_POST[‘submit’] is truthy, not if the variable is set.
I would wrap the entire form handling in
[php]if (isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {
then you can remove the if($_POST[‘submit’]) you already have.
[hr]
The above should take care of the undefined indexes, the undefined variable error is just a typo.
[php]$descRequest = $_POST[‘descRequest’];
// vs
$body = “From: $flname\n E-Mail: $email\n Telephone: $tel\n Description Request: $DescRequest\n Service Required: $dropdown”;[/php]
The HTML form code should go in the //all form stuff? or the php code?
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// all form stuff
Thanks you so much for your help. So it look like this now. I am still getting the undefined index for flname, email, tel, descRequest, and dropdown
[php]
<?php
//declare variables first
$flname = $_POST['flname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$tel = $_POST['tel'];
$descRequest = $_POST['descRequest'];
$dropdown = $_POST['dropdown'];
$from = 'From: Translations Designs';
$to = '
[email protected] ';
$subject = 'Hello';
$body = "From: $flname\n E-Mail: $email\n Telephone: $tel\n Description Request: $descRequest\n Service Required: $dropdown";
//then execute
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// all form stuff
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '
Your request has been sent!
';
} else {
echo '
Something went wrong, go back and try again!
';
}
}
?>
[/php]

Thanks alot. Now I just need to get the confirmation to work. I test it it directs me to the action=“formdata.php” (blank nothing appear) I wonder if I should move the php code to the html page below the form so that the confirmation request can appear below the submit button ? I probably would have to save it as php for it to work?
