Okay...I've been working on some automatic mail PHP forms...now I'm stuck...
How do I make it so a listbox answer is e-mailed...here's what I mean
Here's HTML
<form action="quiz.php" method="post">
<font face="Tunga"><b>Fill out the following questions honestly and arccuratly for <i>best</i> results</b>
<br><br>
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="25" maxlength="256">
<br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="25" maxlength="256">
<br><br>
and our good friend Mr. PHP
<html>
<?php
mail(
"A n t h o n y H u r s t@balhsnfjnsd.com"
"Love Quiz!"
"{$_POST['name']} ({$_POST['email']})has filled out a love quiz! Here are their answers!";
?>
</html>
now wut would be the $_POST['????'] for a listbox or radio button or text box????
i don't understand the question.
can you explain some more?

Okay here's an example coding that is actually in affect...
<form action="updates.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="100"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" size="20" maxlength="100"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Get Updates!">
See how in that form name="email" and name="email...
it makes it a variable for the php...
mail(
$_POST['email'],
"Welcome {$_POST['name']}",
"Just e-mailing you to inform you that you will recieve site updates
\n Thanks for Joining,
\n JAcostuff.com
");
...see how the $_POST['email'] $_POST['name']
make it connected from the previous page's name="email" name="name"
Now how do I "Connect it" with other form types such as radio buttons, list boxes, text area's etc.
You need to loop thropugh the formcollection. Like
foreach ($_POST as $var=>$value){
}
If you just wan't to print the answers, then you need to be able to filter them out. So all formfields that contain an answer should have the same first x letters in there name. Like answ1, answ2, answ3 etc.
None of the non-answer formfields should have this first 'answ' at the start of there name.
Then you can go
$answers='';
foreach ($_POST as $var=>$value){
if (substr($var, 0, 4)=='answ'){
$answers .= ('Answer to question ' . substr($var,4) . ': ' . $value . '<br />') ;
}
}
$answer will then contain all answers

with say
<input type="radio" name="radiobutt" value="yes" />
<input type="radio" name="radiobutt" value="no" />
then {$_POST['radiobutt']} is good enough (will equal whatever is selected)
for multiples , say checkboxes ..make the name an array by adding '[]' to the name
1<input type="checkbox" name="checkbutt[0]" value="yes" />
2<input type="checkbox" name="checkbutt[1]" value="no" />
3<input type="checkbox" name="checkbutt[2]" value="maybee" />
4<input type="checkbox" name="checkbutt[3]" value="perhaps" />
then if checked, <?$_POST['checkbutt'][0]?>will = 'yes'
errr & could you tone down the `thanks CF` bit of your sig (nice thought but a bit heavy ;))

4<input type="checkbox" name="checkbutt[3]" value="perhaps" />
then if checked, <?$_POST['checkbutt'][0]?>will = 'yes'
So basically this would work?
If($_POST['checkbutt'][0]){
Script Here
}elseif($_POST['checkbutt'][1]{
Script Here
}

no cos checkbutt won't == true , it will equal whatever value you gave it in the form..
<?
if(!empty($_POST['checkbutt'][0])){
//should work
}
?>
