How to get HTML form content to my e-mail?
July 25th 2010
Hi, I’ve been working on a form for users to get an estimate on their project cost, so far I’ve been able to get the form to submit it’s content to a PHP site, and then e-mail me a message. The problem is that the message that I’m e-mailed doesn’t contain the info from the form, it’s just empty. How can I get my e-mail to contain the subject fields from the form?

the information that is entered into the form is sent as “post” variables. You access these variables on the server side like this
$variable = $_POST["variable name from post"];
variable is the variable that will hold the information.
“variable name from post” is the form field ID

mail() needs the body of the message to be composed of the elements of the form:
$email = isset($_GET['email']) ? trim($_GET['email']) : ”;
$cabinet = isset($_GET['cabinet']) ? trim($_GET['cabinet']) : ”;
etc.
$body = ‘Email Address: ‘.$email.”\n\r”.’Cabinet Type: ‘.$cabinet…
Then send $body in mail()
