Hi all,

 

having a bit of trouble working out how to send a YES / NO value from a tickbox form, its basically for people to opt in / out of a newsletter.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Heres the HTML form:

 

	<form action="send_form_email.php" method="post" name="contactform">

  <label for="first_name">First Name </label>
  <input  type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30" />

  <label for="last_name">Last Name </label>
  <input  type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30" />

  <label for="email"> Email Address </label>
  <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30" />

  <label for="telephone"> Telephone </label>
  <input  type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30" />

  <label for="comments">Enquiry<br></label>
  <textarea  name="comments" cols="44" rows="9"></textarea>

  <br>

  [b]<label for="newsletter">May we contact you regarding future offers?</label>[/b]
[b]	   <input id="checkbox" type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="1">[/b]

  <input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />

   </form>

 

 

--------------------------------

and the php include

 

 

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

// Email and Subject
$email_to = "info@makebelievemedia.co.uk";
$email_subject = "SDS Website enquiry";


function died($error) {
	// your error code can go here
	echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
	echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
	echo $error."<br /><br />";
	echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
	die();
}

// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
	!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
	!isset($_POST['email']) ||
	!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
	!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
	died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');	  
}

$first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
$last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
$comments = $_POST['comments']; // required

$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
 if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
 }
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
 if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
 }
 if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
 }
 if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
 }
 if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
 }
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

function clean_string($string) {
  $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
  return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}

$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
$email_message .= "Newsletter: ".clean_string($newsletter)."\n";


// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
$headers2 = 'From: '.$email_to."\r\n".
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

$replymsg = "Thank you for your request.";
mail($email_from, $email_subject, $replymsg, $headers2);
?>

 

I added $email_message .= "Newsletter: ".clean_string($newsletter)."\n"; which shows the Newsletter header in the sent email but i cant work out how to send a value from the tick box.

 

any advice?

The forum has code formatting for a reason...

its ok iv figured it out..

 

just needed the follow line and value of form changed.

 

$email_message .= $_POST['newsletter'] == "unscribe" ? "Newsletter: Yes \n" : "Newsletter: No \n";

 

one thing i would like to do which may be a bit out my league is to automatically add the email address of people who selected 'yes' to the newsletter mailing list. i was thinking of going down the mailchimp route but would rather figure out a way to do myself
