It's been a few years since I've done any PHP and for some reason my big mouth got me into a project for work. I can't figure out why this isn't working! Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

Oh. My. God. Really.

 

I think you got a little over zealous with the post array. I doubt you actually posted those last few.

For your massive line after line of code, that only changes in what value/legend, I would make an array of arrays, with your categories as the index of the main array, and you have an index/value pair for each form field under that category. The sub-array index would be the form field name and the value would be the legend you want in the email message.

 

Then you can loop over the array of arrays to build the email message. The main array index would given you the category heading for the message and then loop over each sub-array to output the legend from the array value and access the correct $_POST field using the array index.

The point trying to be made is that your code:

$email = $_POST['someone@drpgraphicdesign.com'];
$subject = $_POST['BOB -' . $name . 'has submitted a ballot'];

 

Is attempting to look up the value of inputs in your form that look like:

<input type="text" name="someone@drpgraphicdesign.com">
<input type="text" name="BOB - something has submitted a ballot">

 

Which is almost certainly not what you want.  You need to just assign $email and $subject to the string values, not try and lookup something in the $_POST array.

$email = 'someone$drpgraphicdesign.com';

Oh my hell! Thank you.

Those 3 lines should be:

$email = 'dallas@drpgraphicdesign.com';
$subject = 'BOB -' . $name . 'has submitted a ballot';
$to = 'dp69_2001@msn.com';

 

Thank you so much for pointing that out. I'd hoped it was just a mistake like that somewhere and that I could finish this damn thing. They've been nagging me about it since Monday. I will definitely be trying learn more about arrays before doing anything similar.
