php form optional fields problem

Beginners - Learning PHP
#1

I am trying to write code that will let a user enter information in an optional content, if the user uses them then that is then added to the e-mail that is sent back to me. Every thing does work other then getting the while loop to bring back that optional data if any.

can anyone point out what i have wrong?

[php] elseif(isset($_POST[‘postedRequest’])) {
$subject = $_POST[‘formType’];
$message = "Broker Name: " . $_POST[‘brokerName’] . “\n” . "Agency Name: " . $_POST[‘agencyName’] . “\n” . "Broker Address: " . $_POST[‘brokerAddress’] . " ". $_POST[‘brokerCity’] . " " . $_POST[‘brokerState’] . " " . $_POST[‘brokerZip’]. “\n” . "Broker Phone #: " . $_POST[‘brokerPhone’]. “\n” . “\n”. “Broker Fax #: " .” ". $_POST[‘brokerFax’] . “\n” . “Broker License #: " . $_POST[‘brokerLicenseNumber’] . “\n” . “Broker Email: " . $_POST[‘brokerEmail’] .”\n” .

"Eligible Dependants: " . $_POST[‘eligibleDependants’] . “\n” . "Desired Plan Type: " . $_POST[‘desiredPlanType’];

$i = 0;
while ($i <= 14) {
	if (isset($_POST['employee'.$i.'Name'])) {
		$message = "employee".$i."Name: " . $_POST['employee'.$i.'Name'] . "\n" . "employee".$i."DOB: " . $_POST['employee'.$i.'DOB'] . "\n" . "employee".$i."Gender: " . $_POST['employee'.$i.'Gender'] .

I have updated my code from the previews post, i changed the while loop to a for loop, still having problems.

[php]<?php
if(isset($_POST[‘postedChange’])) {
$subject = $_POST[‘formType’];
$message = "Employer: " . $_POST[‘employer’] . “\n” . "Employer Contact: " . $_POST[‘employerContact’] . “\n” . "Employer Contact Phone: " . $_POST[‘employerContactPhone’] . “\n” .
