Hello all,

I am trying to create a mailer.php file for the form below. I am having a horrible time with this. Every time I put the code together with the radio button variables the script fails. Can someone be so great as to just give me the proper .php script to make this email form work? I would be so grateful and so will my hair that is being pulling out at the moment.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<p align="left"><span class="style5">Name</span>
<input name="textfield" type="text" size="25">
</p>
<p align="left"><span class="style5">Phone</span>
<input name="textfield2" type="text" size="25">
</p>
<p align="left"><span class="style5">Email</span>
<input name="textfield3" type="text" size="25">
</p>
<p class="style5">Please select one </p>
<p><span class="style5">Make an appointment</span>
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton">
<span class="style5">Egg Donor application</span>
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton">
<span class="style5">Have a comment</span>
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton">
</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center" class="style5">Comment</p>
<p>
<textarea name="textarea" cols="40" rows="10"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>

I haven't tested it but this should work:

PHP Code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

    $name = htmlentities($_POST['name']);
    $phone = htmlentities($_POST['phone']);
    $email = htmlentities($_POST['email']);
    $make_appt = htmlentities($_POST['make_appt']);
    $donor_app = htmlentities($_POST['donor_app']);
    $have_comment = htmlentities($_POST['have_comment']);
    $comment = htmlentities($_POST['comment']);

    $to = 'recieversemailaddress@somedomain.com';
    $subject = 'You\'ve got mail!';
    $message =

<<<heredoc

You have recieved the following email: \n\n

Name: $name \n
Phone: $phone \n
Email: $email \n
Why: {$make_appt}{$donor_app}{$have_comment}\n
Comment: $comment

heredoc;

    $sendMail = mail($to, $subject, $message);

    echo ($sendMail) ? 'Message Sent' : 'Message could not be sent';

}

?>

As you can see I changed your form a bit, 1st try to use relevant names for your form fields. Don't name a radio button "radio button" name it "egg donor application" for example. Also each field name must be unique, in your original form you had multiple radio buttons with the same name.

Wrong! For radio buttons to act AS radio they HAVE to have the same names.

Yeah my bad, got mixed up. The original form had the same values for all radio buttons but yes the names should be the same.
