Hi Everyone
I am having a problem (well, not so much a problem as a total mindblank)…
I am trying to code a contact form which contains a dropdown selection box. I know how to send all the fields to the php script except the dropdown selection.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
The contact form code is (html):
<form name="contactformlite" method="post" action="lite_process.php" onsubmit="return validate.check(this)">
<table width="400px" class="cflite">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<p style="text-align:center">Fields marked with <span class="required_star"> * </span> are required.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<label for="Full_Name" class="required">Name<span class="required_star"> * </span></label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<input type="text" name="Full_Name" id="Full_Name" maxlength="80" style="width:250px">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<label for="Email_Address" class="required">Email<span class="required_star"> * </span></label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<input type="text" name="Email_Address" id="Email_Address" maxlength="100" style="width:250px">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><label for="Subject">Subject<span class="required_star"> * </span></label></td>
<td valign="top"><select id="Subject" name="Subject">
<option value="Please Select" selected="selected">Please Select</option>
<option value="Option 1">Career Opportunities</option>
<option value="Option 2">Request for Services</option>
<option value="Option 3">General Information</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<label for="Your_Message" class="required">Message<span class="required_star"> * </span></label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="cflite_td">
<textarea style="width:250px;height:120px" name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message" maxlength="2000"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center" class="cflite_td">
<input type="submit" value=" Submit Form "></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
The PHP form that processes the contact form is:
[php]<?php
include “_validation.php”;
include “_configuration.php”;
if(isset($_POST[‘Email_Address’])) {
include 'lite_settings.php';
function died($error) {
echo "Sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
if(!isset($_POST['Full_Name']) ||
!isset($_POST['Email_Address']) ||
!isset($_POST['Telephone_Number']) ||
!isset($_POST['Your_Message'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$full_name = $_POST['Full_Name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['Email_Address']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['Telephone_Number']; // not required
$comments = $_POST['Your_Message']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = "/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/";
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= ‘The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(strlen($full_name) < 2) {
$error_message .= ‘Your Name does not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= ‘The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.
’;
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = “Form details below.\r\n”;
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Full Name: ".clean_string($full_name)."\r\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\r\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\r\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($comments)."\r\n";
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
header(“Location: $thankyou”);
?>
[/php]
lite_settings.php:
[php]
<?php $full_name = $_POST['Full_Name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['Email_Address']; // required $comments = $_POST['Your_Message']; // required ?>[/php]
I know everything else is fine (as I actually tested it this time…) but I just dont know how to send the dropdown box submission.
Can someone help?
Thanks
Ian
