Hi, I have a basic form that I need to make work with PHP.

All I have in the form is text fields, check boxes and text areas.

I have one php script that works when I have 2 text fields and 1 text area:

Code:

PHP Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "email@email.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['comments'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
 
header("Location: ../thankyou.htm");
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "error: no data sent!";

}
?>

Can you please give me an example of how to change this code for a form that has 7 text feilds, 6 checkboxes and 1 text area.

I know that it will depend on the names of the different input areas of the form but if you give me a rough example of how to add more to this php then I will be able to set this form up.

I know that there are just a few things to add in the php script but I don't know the exact way to add them. If anyone could help me with this then that would be unbelievable!

Thanks!

Hi Mcook,


Try this:
*Make sure that you fill in the names of what you defined the textboxes, checkboxes, etc from your other page!

PHP Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "email@email.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['comments'];

//**ADDON FOR THE OTHER FIELDS**
//Text Fields
$txtfield1 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield2 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield3 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield4 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield5 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield6 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield7 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$txtfield8 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];

//Check Boxes
//Whatever the name is that you called the check boxes
//EXAMPLE: <input type="checkbox" name="NAME HERE" value="a">

$chkbox1 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$chkbox2 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$chkbox3 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$chkbox4 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$chkbox5 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];
$chkbox6 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];

//TEXT AREA
$txtarea1 = $_POST['NAME HERE'];


$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message\n Text Field1: $txtfield1\n Text Field2: $txtfield2\n Text Field3: $txtfield3\n Text Field4: $txtfield4\n Text Field5: $txtfield5\n Text Field6: $txtfield6\n Text Field7: $txtfield7\n Text Field8: $txtfield8\n CheckBox1: $chkbox1\n CheckBox2: $chkbox2\n CheckBox3: $chkbox3\n CheckBox4: $chkbox4\n CheckBox5: $chkbox5\n CheckBox6: $chkbox6\n TextArea1: $txtarea1";
 
header("Location: ../thankyou.htm");
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "error: no data sent!";

}
?>
