For reading a drop-down, you use this format: $_POST[‘SELECT-NAME’]… The value is retrieved form the "VALUE"s in the OPTIONS … So…
This:
[php]
$websitetype = $websitetype[(int) $_POST[‘websitetype’]];
[/php]

Should be:
[php]
$websitetype = $_POST[‘websitetype’];
[/php]
Nothing else… INT’s do NOT matter as PHP does not care and you already set them to INT in the OPTION value=‘1’, etc… (Actually, you set them to a string “1”, depends if you need the number, if you do, change your options to be VALUE=1, NOT VALUE=“1”…)

Now for the webpages…
This:
[php]
$webpages = array(1 => “1”, 2 => “2-5”, 3=>“5-10”, 4=>“10-20”, 5=>“20+”);
$webpages = $webpages[(int) $_POST[‘webpages’]];
[/php]

Should be:
[php]
$webpagesText = array(“1”, “2-5”, “5-10”, “10-20”, “20+”);
$webpages = $webpages($_POST[‘webpages’]);
[/php]
So, this will pull a text value from this array based on the number selected from the form…
You then, can put that text into the email… Unless I missed some reason why you would want all these arrays and not simple code…

Try it and let us know if it does not work for you…
