Newbie Problem with PHP Form Mailer

[kurtstoll]

Hi All another newbie here,

 

I am trying to modify a contact form that came with a wordpress template that I purchased and add a multiselect form element.

 

I have successfully added the select box and values to the form, however whenever I submit the form, it tells me that the value for the multiselect box is 'array' or '0', even if I select multiple values.  I know that I missed something about how to get it to parse/print/echo the selected array results into the email, but I don't know enough about PHP (yet) to tell it what command to use to list the selected results.  What I'm trying to do is get the multiple selections for $preferredtime to show in the email body.  Everything else works great at this time.

 

Any help is appreciated!!  Thx!

 

Here is a link to my site:  http://www.metabrand.me/hcr/contact-us/

 

Here is the code:

 

<?php
/*
Template Name: Contact Us Template
*/

//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['rt_name'])) {

//Check to see if the honeypot captcha field was filled in
if(trim($_POST['checking']) !== '') {
	$captchaError = true;
} else {

	//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
	if(trim($_POST['rt_name']) === '') {
		$nameError = 'Please enter your name.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$name = trim($_POST['rt_name']);
	}

	//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
	if(trim($_POST['rt_email']) === '')  {
		$emailError = 'Please enter your email address.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['rt_email']))) {
		$emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$email = trim($_POST['rt_email']);
	}



	//Check to make sure that the preferred method of contact field is selected
	if(trim($_POST['rt_preferredcontact']) === '') {
		$preferredcontactError = 'Please select your preferred method of contact.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$preferredcontact = trim($_POST['rt_preferredcontact']);
	}


                //Check to make sure that the preferred time of contact field is selected
	if(trim($_POST['rt_preferredtime']) === '') {
		$preferredtimeError = 'Please select your preferred time of contact.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		$preferredtime = trim($_POST['rt_preferredtime']);
	}



	//Check to make sure comments were entered	
	if(trim($_POST['rt_message']) === '') {
		$commentError = 'Please enter your message.';
		$hasError = true;
	} else {
		if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
			$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['rt_message']));
		} else {
			$comments = trim($_POST['rt_message']);
		}
	}

	//If there is no error, send the email
	if(!isset($hasError)) {
		$phone=trim($_POST['rt_phone']);
		$emailTo = ''.get_option('rttheme_form_mail').'';
		$subject = 'Web Site Contact Request from '.$name;
		$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nPhone: $phone \n\nPreferred Method of Contact: $preferredcontact \n\nBest Time to Call: $p \n\nComments: $comments";
		$headers = 'From: '.$name.' <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

		mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

		$emailSent = true;

	}
}
}
