Help with Form - can't get option values passed

[oavs]

Hi

I am grateful that you are reading this, so let me thank you first.

 

I have form which works fine except the select field which has some options and the date select . When I receive my email I get all the fields except the option field. Not sure how to get the date fields yet.

 

I hope you can help.

 

This is the form:

<script>
// <![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('#contactform').submit(function(){				  
	var action = $(this).attr('action');
	$.post(action, { 
		name: $('#name').val(),
		email: $('#email').val(),
		phone: $('#phone').val(),
		enquiries: $('#enquiries').val(),
		message: $('#message').val()
	},
		function(data){
			$('#contactform #submit').attr('disabled','');
			$('.response').remove();
			$('#contactform').before('<p class="response">'+data+'</p>');
			$('.response').slideDown();
			if(data=='Message sent!') $('#contactform').slideUp();
		}
	); 
	return false;
});
});
// ]]>
</script>



<form action="send.php" method="post" id="contactform">
          <ol>
            <li>
              <label for="name">First Name <span class="red">*</span></label>
              <input id="name" name="name" class="text" />
            </li>
            <li>
              <label for="email">Your email <span class="red">*</span></label>
              <input id="email" name="email" class="text" />
            </li>
            <li>
              <label for="phone">Phone Contact <span class="red">*</span></label>
              <input id="phone" name="phone" class="text" />

              <select name="enquiries" >
                <option value="Not Selected">--- Please Select ----</option>
                <option value="Bookings">Bookings</option>
                <option value="General Enquiry">General Enquiry</option>
                <option value="Expander">Expander</option>
                <option value="Swan">Swan</option>
              </select>

<?php		
  $thisweek = date('W');
	$thisyear = date('Y');

	$dayTimes = getDaysInWeek($thisweek, $thisyear);
	//----------------------------------------

	$date1 = date('Y-m-d', $dayTimes[0]);
	$date2 = date('Y-m-d', $dayTimes[(sizeof($dayTimes)-1)]);

	function getDaysInWeek ($weekNumber, $year, $dayStart = 1) {		  
	  // Count from '0104' because January 4th is always in week 1

  $myCalendar = new tc_calendar("date3", true, false);
  $myCalendar->setIcon("images/iconCalendar.gif");
  $myCalendar->setDate(date('d', strtotime($date1)), date('m', strtotime($date1)), date('Y', strtotime($date1)));

                </div>
              </div>      
                </div>
              </div>
              
            </li>
            <li>
              <label for="message">Message <span class="red">*</span></label>
              <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea>
            </li>
            <li class="buttons">
              <input type="image" name="imageField" id="imageField" src="images/send.gif" class="send" />
              <div class="clr"></div>
            </li>
          </ol>
        </form>

 

And this is the PHP form processor.

 

<?php

if(!$_POST) exit;

$email = $_POST['email'];


//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.="<span class=\"error-red\">Invalid email address entered</span>";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','phone',$enquiries,'message');
$required = array('name','email','phone','enquiries','message');

$your_email = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "Website Enquiries: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "New message:\n";

foreach($values as $key => $value){
  if(in_array($value,$required)){
	if ($key != 'enquiries' && $key != 'email') {
	  if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo '<span class="error-red">PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS!</span>'; exit; }
	}
	$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
  }
}

if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
	echo 'Message sent!'; 
} else {
	echo 'ERROR!';
}
}
?>

The form handling script, aside from being illogically structured, appears to rely on 'register_globals = On', and that's not a good thing.

 

I don't see anywhere in the script where the value of the date or enquiry form fields are used, so that is why you aren't getting the values in the resulting email.

Thanks,

 

I am not a coder but I do understand some of the basics. Thanks for letting me know. I really need to someone come up with a fix or alternative script suggestion if there is such thing I'll be very greatful.
