This is a followup to a question I posted yesterday. I thought everything was working fine, but today, I am not getting any results in the email from the drop down field.
Here is the form code in question:
<label for="purpose"><span class="required">*</span> Purpose</label>
<select id="purpose" name="purpose" style="width: 300px; height:35px;">
<option value="" selected="selected">-- Select One --</option>
<option value="I am interested in your services">I am interested in your services!</option>
<option value="I am interested in a partnership">I am interested in a partnership!</option>
<option value="I am interested in a job">I am interested in a job!</option>
</select>
It is then processed in PHP and should output the selected option to an email, however the Reason for Contact line always comes through with nothing in it.
Here is the PHP code:
<?php
if(!$_POST) exit;
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$purpose = $_POST['purpose'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$verify = $_POST['verify'];
if(trim($name) == '') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! You must enter your name.</div>';
exit();
} else if(trim($email) == '') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! Please enter a valid email address.</div>';
exit();
} else if(trim($phone) == '') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! Please enter a valid phone number.</div>';
exit();
} else if(!isEmail($email)) {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! You have enter an invalid e-mail address, try again.</div>';
exit();
}
if(trim($comments) == '') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! Please enter your message.</div>';
exit();
} else if(trim($verify) == '') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! Please enter the verification number.</div>';
exit();
} else if(trim($verify) != '4') {
echo '<div class="error_message">Attention! The verification number you entered is incorrect.</div>';
exit();
}
if($error == '') {
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$comments = stripslashes($comments);
}
// Configuration option.
// Enter the email address that you want to emails to be sent to.
// Example $address = "[email protected]";
$address = "[email protected]";
// Configuration option.
// i.e. The standard subject will appear as, "You've been contacted by John Doe."
// Example, $e_subject = '$name . ' has contacted you via Your Website.';
$e_subject = 'You\'ve been contacted by ' . $name . '.';
// Configuration option.
// You can change this if you feel that you need to.
// Developers, you may wish to add more fields to the form, in which case you must be sure to add them here.
$e_body = "You have been contacted by $name.\r\n\n";
$e_company = "Company: $company\r\n\n";
$e_content = "Comments: \"$comments\"\r\n\n";
$e_purpose = "Reason for contact: $purpose\r\n\n";
$e_reply = "You can contact $name via email, $email or via phone $phone";
$msg = $e_body . $e_content . $e_company . $e_purpose . $e_reply;
if(mail($address, $e_subject, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-To: $email\r\nReturn-Path: $email\r\n")) {
// Email has sent successfully, echo a success page.
echo "<fieldset>";
echo "<div id='success_page'>";
echo "<h1>Email Sent Successfully.</h1>";
echo "<p>Thank you <strong>$name</strong>, your message has been submitted to us.</p>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</fieldset>";
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
}
}
function isEmail($email) { // Email address verification, do not edit.
return(preg_match("/^[-_.[:alnum:]]+@((([[:alnum:]]|[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]-]*[[:alnum:]])\.)+(ad|ae|aero|af|ag|ai|al|am|an|ao|aq|ar|arpa|as|at|au|aw|az|ba|bb|bd|be|bf|bg|bh|bi|biz|bj|bm|bn|bo|br|bs|bt|bv|bw|by|bz|ca|cc|cd|cf|cg|ch|ci|ck|cl|cm|cn|co|com|coop|cr|cs|cu|cv|cx|cy|cz|de|dj|dk|dm|do|dz|ec|edu|ee|eg|eh|er|es|et|eu|fi|fj|fk|fm|fo|fr|ga|gb|gd|ge|gf|gh|gi|gl|gm|gn|gov|gp|gq|gr|gs|gt|gu|gw|gy|hk|hm|hn|hr|ht|hu|id|ie|il|in|info|int|io|iq|ir|is|it|jm|jo|jp|ke|kg|kh|ki|km|kn|kp|kr|kw|ky|kz|la|lb|lc|li|lk|lr|ls|lt|lu|lv|ly|ma|mc|md|mg|mh|mil|mk|ml|mm|mn|mo|mp|mq|mr|ms|mt|mu|museum|mv|mw|mx|my|mz|na|name|nc|ne|net|nf|ng|ni|nl|no|np|nr|nt|nu|nz|om|org|pa|pe|pf|pg|ph|pk|pl|pm|pn|pr|pro|ps|pt|pw|py|qa|re|ro|ru|rw|sa|sb|sc|sd|se|sg|sh|si|sj|sk|sl|sm|sn|so|sr|st|su|sv|sy|sz|tc|td|tf|tg|th|tj|tk|tm|tn|to|tp|tr|tt|tv|tw|tz|ua|ug|uk|um|us|uy|uz|va|vc|ve|vg|vi|vn|vu|wf|ws|ye|yt|yu|za|zm|zw)$|(([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5])\.){3}([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5]))$/i",$email));
}
?>
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
