Schedule A Service Module - notify via email

Involved Joined: Apr 06, 2008 Posts: 484

I needed a module that will allow people to schedule a service to get the computer repaired.The module would only have to notify via email so I thought I would modify the feedback module.

all went well except It wont seem to pass the drop down box information.Actually it pass's it but wont send it in the email.Im sure it is something simple.

Here is how I have coded it but I have also included the complete script in case it is needed.

Code:




echo '<td >How did you hear about us?</td>' . "\n";


echo '<td><select name="found_us" value=""'.$found_us.'"" id="found_us">' . "\n";


echo '  <option>Select -- &gt;</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Flyer">Flyer</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Friend">Friend</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Google">Google.com</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="yellow_pages">Yellowpages</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Newspaper">Newspaper</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Telephone Book">Telephone Book</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Used Before">Used Before</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Yahoo.com">Yahoo.com</option>' . "\n";


echo '  <option value="Other Search Engine">Other Search Engine</option>' . "\n";


echo "\n";


echo '</select></td>' . "\n";

I have checked what is being passed via the browser and it is displaying the following....

Code:




POST: Array


(


    [sender_name] => Peter


    [sender_email] => myemail@someone.com


    [phone_number] => 0732880377


    [found_us] => Flyer


    [restore_disk] => Yes


    [operating_system] => Windows XP


    [network] => 4 Computers


    [internet] => ADSL


    [problem] => blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 


    [opi] => ds


    [Submit] => Submit


)

And this is what I receive in the email....

Code:




My Sitename





Sender's Name: Peter


Sender's Email: myemail@someone.com


Subject: My Sitename - Service Needed





Phone Number: 732880377


How You Found Us: Flyer


O/S: Windows XP


Network: 4 Computers


Internet Connection: ADSL


Message: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

ok at the risk of looking exceptionally stupid Sad

the only thing im having trouble with is the validation for the drop down box's, the rest of the validation works fine....

If someone could have a quick look when they have time it would be appreciated.
