Sending different radio button choices in the mail() function.

jon4433 · February 19, 2012

So I have 2 radio buttons, one called 'Yes' and the other called 'No'. I want the user to choose one of them since they are required, but how would I send which choice they have choosen?

I have the mail form out set out of working, but i'm not too sure on how I would send the option that the user chooses.

<?php

if($_POST['submit'])
{

$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
$duration = $_POST['duration'];
$no = $_POST['no'];
$yes = $_POST['yes'];
//$griefed = $_POST['griefed'];
$access = $_POST['access'];
$builder = $_POST['builder'];
$fill = $_POST['fill'];

if(empty($username)){
	echo "The username field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($email)){
	echo "The email field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($age)){
	echo "The age field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($location)){
	echo "The location field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($duration)){
	echo "The duration field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($access)){
	echo "The access field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($builder)){
	echo "The builder field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
if(empty($fill)){
	echo "The more details field was blank. Please go back and fill in the required fields.<br>";
	}
	else{

if($username && $email && $age && $location && $duration && $access && $builder && $fill){

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Creative World Application"; 
$message = "Username: $username
Email: $email
Age: $age
Location: $location
Duration on the server: $duration
Access to the new world: $access
Are you a good builder: $builder 
Anything else that we should know: $fill";
$headers = "From: $email /n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

      echo "Application was sent!";
}
	else
		{
			echo "All fields are required!";
		}
	}
}
?>

First your boxes must share the same name:

Have you ever griefed:
              <label>
                <input type="radio"  name="cbox" value="no" id="choice_0" />
                No</label>
              <br />
              <label>
                <input type="radio" name="cbox" value="yes" id="choice_1" />
                Yes</label><br />

Your php to find the value is:

$cbox = $_POST['cbox'];

The var. cbox will be 'yes' or 'no' depending on which is selected.
