2) Script URL (on DD): http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex...menu/index.htm

3) Describe problem:

Hey all,

As I am trying to get the selected into a mailform, here's what I did:

Code:

<select class="custom-select" type="text" name="firstlevel" id="firstlevel" required></select>
<select class="custom-select" type="text" name="secondlevel" id="secondlevel" required></select>
<select class="custom-select" type="text" name="thirdlevel" id="thirdlevel" required></select>

And the php of the mail form:

Code:

<?php

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // get ip to short variable name for logging purposes 

$to = "contact@website.com";
$subject= "request via website";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$street = $_POST['street'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$firstlevel = $_POST['firstlevel'];
$secondlevel = $_POST['secondlevel'];
$thirdlevel = $_POST['thirdlevel'];

$remarks = $_POST['remarks'];

$message = "
Name: $name
Phone: $phone
Email: $email

Address: $street, $city

Requested workshop:
$firstlevel
$secondlevel
$thirdlevel

Remarks: $remarks

";
  $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
         $headers = "From: $email\r\n" .
         "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
            "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
            " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
         $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
            "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
            "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
            "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
         $message . "\n\n";
         foreach($_FILES as $userfile)
         {
            $tmp_name = $userfile['tmp_name'];
            $type = $userfile['type'];
            $name = $userfile['name'];
            $size = $userfile['size'];
            if (file_exists($tmp_name))
            {
               if(is_uploaded_file($tmp_name))
               {
                  $file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');
                  $data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));
                  fclose($file);
                  $data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
               }
               $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
                  "Content-Type: {$type};\n" .
                  " name=\"{$name}\"\n" .
                  "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
                  " filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
                  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
               $data . "\n\n";
            }
         }
         $message.="--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
   echo "<b>Thanks for your request.</b><br>It will be processed very shortly, so I will get back to you soon.<br>Please stay healthy in the meantime.
    <br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><blockquote class='bordered layout-2'><b>This was your request:</b>
    <br>&nbsp;<br>$name
    <br>$street, $city
    <br>$phone - $email
    <br>&nbsp;<br>$firstlevel, $secondlevel, $thirdlevel
    <br>&nbsp;<br>Remarks:<br>$remarks</blockquote>
";
else
   echo "Your request has not been processed.<br>Please try again, filling in all fields.";
?>

But it seems like $firstlevel, $secondlevel and $thirdlevel are not recognised as a value, because they are not in the sent mail nor the recap of the sent message.
How to get these values work, please?
Thanks.

Been playing around, and I really can't find anything unusual.
Yet it still doesn't work. Here's the live work (form at the bottom): https://www.parisaspersiankitchen.com/workshops1.php
Anyone, please?

Dear Chechu: This is just a guess, but perhaps your html form needs to be something like this... your form code does not seem to be making a selection from options. Please see if this helps. Aaron

Code:

<p><label>Requested Workshop:</label>
<select name="workshop" size="1">
  <option value="lev1">Online Streaming</option>
  <option value="lev2">Home Setting</option>
  <option value="lev3">Company Event</option> 													
</select>

Code:
