submitted my php form, but none of the values were

Question

For some reason, the options are not showing up in my email. I can get the email to send just fine. I can see the body and all its comments, but none of the entries that the user made. I know I am doing something wrong, but I cannot determine what it is.

Also, feel free to mock me if it looks horrible. :)

$ToEmail = '[e-mail]'; 
$EmailSubject = 'Message from web page!!'; 

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$urphone = $_POST['urphone'];
$event = $_POST['event'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$hearaboutus = $_POST['hearaboutus'];

$body = <<<EMAIL
Email: $email <br />
Name: $name <br />
Comment: $comment <br />
Phone: $urphone <br />
Date: $urdate <br />
Comment: $comment <br />
How did you hear?: $hearaboutus <br />
Mail optiom: $mail <br />
EMAIL;

$header = "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail("$ToEmail", "$EmailSubject", "$body", "$header");
echo ("Message Sent!");

?>

Answer 1

Change method="get"

to

method="post"

and remove enctype . It's not required in this case.

Also, why is there a ? in your action? You can keep action blank as it is posting to the same page.

To make things even simpler for you, copy paste the below code and run the file again

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$ToEmail = '[e-mail]'; 
$EmailSubject = 'Message from web page!!'; 

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$urphone = $_POST['urphone'];
$event = $_POST['event'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$hearaboutus = $_POST['hearaboutus'];

$body = <<<EMAIL
Email: $email <br />
Name: $name <br />
Comment: $comment <br />
Phone: $urphone <br />
Date: $urdate <br />
Comment: $comment <br />
How did you hear?: $hearaboutus <br />
Mail optiom: $mail <br />
EMAIL;

$header = "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail("$ToEmail", "$EmailSubject", "$body", "$header");
echo ("Message Sent!");
}
?>
