PHP MAILING SCRIPT

General PHP Help
#1

The following script works and successfully sends an email and I receive the thank you echo, however the gender section of the form is not showing in the email that I receive.

Any help on what I am doing wrong as I would like to add more form fields such as a drop down menu

[php]

<?php //if "email" variable is filled out, send email if (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {

//Email information
$admin_email = "[email protected]";
$email = $_REQUEST[‘email’];
$subject = $_REQUEST[‘subject’];
$comment = $_REQUEST[‘comment’];
$gender = $_REQUEST[‘gender’];

//send email
mail($admin_email, “$subject”, $comment, “From:” . $email);

//Email response
echo “Thank you for contacting us!”;
}

//if “email” variable is not filled out, display the form
else {
?>

Email:
Subject:
Message:

Gender: Female Male
       <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<?php } ?> [/php]

Where are you adding gender to the mail body?

#3

Sorry I am not sure what you mean?

#4

You said you wanted the gender in the email message. Where are you adding the gender to the body of the email?

#5

When the user selects their gender, I want that this information to be sent to the $admin_email along with all the other data which is being sent successfully.

The gender is in the form

#6

I want the gender to be inside the message sent by the user. Do I need to put the gender variable inside line 20?

#7

It needs to be apart of the mail body that is sent. Currently. you are only sending the persons comments. If you want more, you need to make a variable to store the content and add to it what you want sent in the email.

[php]

<?php //if "email" variable is filled out, send email if (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {

//Email information
$admin_email = "[email protected]";
$email = $_REQUEST[‘email’];
$subject = $_REQUEST[‘subject’];
$comment = $_REQUEST[‘comment’];
$likeit = $_REQUEST[‘likeit’]);

$message = "Hello!

Your contact form has been submitted by:

email: $email
subject: $subject
Like the website? $likeit
Comments: $comment
";

//send email
mail($admin_email, “$subject”, $comment, “From:” . $email);

//Email response
echo “Thank you for contacting us!”;
}

//if “email” variable is not filled out, display the form
else {

?>

Email:
Subject:
Message:

Do you like this website? Yes No Not sure

       <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<?php } ?> [/php]

So, now you have the new variable, but you are still using $comment as the body of the email message.

Still not working. I have now inputted
//send email
mail($admin_email, $message);

<?php //if "email" variable is filled out, send email if (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) { $admin_email = "[email protected]"; //Email information $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $subject = $_REQUEST['subject']; $comment = $_REQUEST['comment']; $likeit = $_REQUEST['likeit']); $message = "Hello! Your contact form has been submitted by: email: $email subject = $subject; Like the website? $likeit Comments: $comment "; //send email mail($admin_email, $message); //Email response echo "Thank you for contacting us!"; } //if "email" variable is not filled out, display the form else {
#11

Use code tags, there is a reason we have them.

Thanks for all your help.
