Hi community. The radio buttons on my form suddenly stopped working. For the life of me I can’t figure out why. Everything seems to look fine. I did some moving around on servers so I wonder if something got messed up during the transfer. I’m wondering if a new version of PHP was installed and made something obsolete. I was wondering if someone could take a look. Thank you in advance for your advise.

<form action="brian_1.php" method="post" name="form1" id="form1">
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="30" tabindex="1"/>
Company if Applicable:
<input name="company" type="text" id="company" size="30" tabindex="2"/>
Phone: 
<input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" tabindex="3" onkeypress="return formatPhone(event,this)" onkeydown="return getKey(event,this)" size="13" maxlength="12"/>
Example: XXXXXXXXXX
Alternate Phone: 
<input name="altphone" type="text" id="altphone" tabindex="4" onkeypress="return formatPhone(event,this)" onkeydown="return getKey(event,this)" size="13" maxlength="13"/> 
Example: XXXXXXXXXX
Street Address:<input name="mail" type="text" id="mail" size="60" tabindex="5"/>
City, State, Zip Code: 
<input name="city" type="text" id="city" size="60" tabindex="5"/>
E-mail: 
<input name="emai" type="text" id="emai" size="60" tabindex="6"/>

It looks like your script is dependent on Register Globals being enabled. For example, one of your radio buttons is named "list". In the PHP script that processes the form, it looks like you're trying to use the radio button's value here:

With the Register Globals settings disabled / removed (note that it was deprecated in PHP 5.3 and removed in 5.4), $list is now undefined. Trying using $_POST instead:

I did what you said and replaced 

Would you like to be part of our mailing list? $list \r\n <br>

with

Would you like to be part of our mailing list? $_POST['list'] \r\n <br>

and I get a syntax error. It makes the php page fail. I see nothing. Do you have any ideas?

Those line numbers don't really match up to the codes you have provided.  Is the form and the validation on the same page?  Eitehr way, you need to wrap the validation code in an

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) // possibly $_POST['Submit'] depending on if you changed it like I said previously.
{
  // Validation code here.
}

That will keep the errors from showing at least until the form is submitted.  Here is a tutorial on a much better way to validate a form and the logic behind it.  http://amecms.com/article/How-to-validate-a-form-the-right-way

fastsol the form and validation are are on separate pages. I made the changes as you suggested. I changed it to 

if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
echo $_POST["list"];
}

But I still get a list of the following errors.

YesYesYesYes
Notice: Undefined variable: list in /var/www/vhosts/www.brianewagnerfund.org/httpdocs/brian_1.php on line 85

Notice: Undefined variable: cause in /var/www/vhosts/www.brianewagnerfund.org/httpdocs/brian_1.php on line 91

Since the numbers are not matching up, here is the lines that it is referring to.

Are you interested in volunteering for upcoming events? $volunteer \r\n <br>

Are you interested in becoming a sponsor by receiving opportunities to advertise through us? $opportunities \r\n <br>

Would you like to join our efforts by offering your services or products to further our cause? $cause \r\n <br>

If so, in what ways would you like to contribute?  $contribute \r\n <br>

Any ideas? I apologize for my novice questions. I don't deal with this stuff every day.

There are a number of things wrong with your code, to many to list honestly!  I reworked the code for you so you can see the right way to do this.  I did not take in to account any security, so you seriously should expand on that before using this on a live site.  I got rid of the EOD stuff, I really don't konw why people use that, at least I never have and I don't like the syntax it uses.  Since I didn't take the time to remake your actualy form, I can't say this is perfect, but it doesn't throw any syntax errors when loaded.

if (isset($_POST["submit"])) 
{
	/* Email Variables */
	$emailSubject = 'Contact Form';
	$webMaster = 'brianewagnerfund@gmail.com';
	$webMaster = 'matt@webskillsplus.com';
	//$webMaster = 'murrterr@rcn.com';
	/* Data Variables */
	$name = $_POST['name'];
	$company = $_POST['company'];
	$phone = $_POST['phone'];
	$altphone = $_POST['altphone'];
	$mail = $_POST['mail'];
	$city = $_POST['city'];
	$emai = $_POST['emai'];
	$list = $_POST["list"];
	$volunteer =  $_POST["volunteer"];
	$opportunities = $_POST["opportunities"];
	$cause = $_POST["cause"];
	$contribute = $_POST['contribute'];
	$body = "
	<br><br>
	Name(s): $name<br>
	Company if Applicable: $company<br>
	Phone: $phone<br>
	Alternate Phone: $altphone<br>
	Street Address: $mail<br>
	City, State, Zip Code: $city<br>
	Email:  $emai<br>
	Would you like to be part of our mailing list? $list<br>
	Are you interested in volunteering for upcoming events? $volunteer<br>
	Are you interested in becoming a sponsor by receiving opportunities to advertise through us? $opportunities<br>
	Would you like to join our efforts by offering your services or products to further our cause? $cause<br>
	If so, in what ways would you like to contribute?  $contribute<br>";
	$from = "From: BrianEWagnerFund@gmail.com\r\n";
	$from .= "Reply-To: ".$emai."\r\n";
	$from .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
	mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $from);
	/* Results rendered as HTML */
	header("Location: http://www.brianewagnerfund.org/thankyou.html");
}

You truly should take a look and follow the tutorial link I previously posted so you can integrate the security it needs.
