Hi,

 

I have a contact us form that I want to include a multi-select list to return a number of values specified by the user. Currently the html and PHP script only returns the last value selected ignoring the preceding list items selected.

 

See below the link to the Contact Us page.....followed by the PHP script

 

http://www.xlautomation.com.au/ContactUs.html

 

The $Product is the value I want to include multi values to ....

 

<?php

$FirstName 	= $_POST['FirstName'];						#assign value
$LastName 	= $_POST['LastName'];						#assign value
$Address 	= $_POST['Address'];						#assign value
$Country 	= $_POST['Country'];						#assign value
$Mobile 	= $_POST['Mobile'];							#assign value
$Phone	 	= $_POST['Phone'];							#assign value
$Email	 	= $_POST['Email'];							#assign value
$Message 	= $_POST['Message'];						#assign value
$Product 	= $_POST['ProductSelected'];				#assign value
$To			= "enquiry@xlautomation.com.au";			#recipient
$Subject	= "Contact Us Form Feedback from ".$Email;	#subject

#create the comments that will be sent as text in the message later on
$Comments	= "First Name           :".$FirstName."\n";
$Comments	.= "Last Name           :".$LastName."\n";
$Comments	.= "Address             :".$Address."\n";
$Comments	.= "Country             :".$Country."\n";
$Comments	.= "Mobile              :".$Mobile."\n";
$Comments	.= "Phone               :".$Phone."\n";
$Comments	.= "Email               :".$Email."\n";
$Comments	.= "Message             :".$Message."\n";
$Comments	.= "Products Selected   :".$Product."\n";

$Attachment	= $_FILES['ClientFile'];
$FilePath	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['tmp_name'];
$FileName	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['name'];
$FileSize	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['size'];
$FileType	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['type'];
$FileError	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['error'];

#echo "FilePath ".$FilePath."\n";
#echo "FileName ".$FileName."\n";
#echo "FileSize ".$FileSize."\n";
#echo "FileType ".$FileType."\n";
#echo "FileError ".$FileError."\n";

#make sure the file is not greater than 500k in size if it is then report the Error page for file to big
if ($FileSize > 500000)
	{
	header("Location: errors/ErrorFileSize.html");
	exit();
	}

#create a bounday string
$num			= md5(time());
$bound_text 	= "Multipart_Boundary_x{$num}x";
$bound 			= "--".$bound_text."\r\n";
$bound_last 	= "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";

#set the header information before including the text and file details
$headers 		= "From: website@xlautomation.com.au\r\n";
$headers 		.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers		.= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"";

#now include the text of the message before including the file
$msg 			= "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n";
$msg			.= $bound;
$msg	 		.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
  					."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"
  					.$Comments."\r\n\n"
  					.$bound;

#now set the file name for the function to return the file for sending
$file 			= file_get_contents($FilePath);

#now add the file to the message contents for sending
$msg	 		.= "Content-Type:  {$FileType}; name=\"{$FileName}\"\r\n"
  					."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
					."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"{$FileName}\"\r\n"
  					."\r\n"
  					.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
  					.$bound_last;

#now ready to send the email
if(mail($To, $Subject, $msg, $headers))
	{
		header("Location: Thankyou.html");

	} 	else {

    	header("Location: errors/ErrorFileUpload.html");

	}

?>

The problem is that, because you can select mutiple products, it returns an array of selected products. Try:

 

<?php

$FirstName 	= $_POST['FirstName'];						#assign value
$LastName 	= $_POST['LastName'];						#assign value
$Address 	= $_POST['Address'];						#assign value
$Country 	= $_POST['Country'];						#assign value

$Phone	 	= $_POST['Phone'];							#assign value
$Email	 	= $_POST['Email'];							#assign value
$Message 	= $_POST['Message'];						#assign value
$Product 	= $_POST['ProductSelected'];				#assign value
$To			= "enquiry@xlautomation.com.au";			#recipient
$Subject	= "Contact Us Form Feedback from ".$Email;	#subject

#create the comments that will be sent as text in the message later on
$Comments	= "First Name           :".$FirstName."\n";
$Comments	.= "Last Name           :".$LastName."\n";
$Comments	.= "Address             :".$Address."\n";
$Comments	.= "Country             :".$Country."\n";
$Comments	.= "Mobile              :".$Mobile."\n";

$Comments	.= "Email               :".$Email."\n";
$Comments	.= "Message             :".$Message."\n";

$Attachment	= $_FILES['ClientFile'];
$FilePath	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['tmp_name'];
$FileName	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['name'];
$FileSize	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['size'];
$FileType	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['type'];
$FileError	= $_FILES['ClientFile']['error'];

#echo "FilePath ".$FilePath."\n";
#echo "FileName ".$FileName."\n";
#echo "FileSize ".$FileSize."\n";
#echo "FileType ".$FileType."\n";
#echo "FileError ".$FileError."\n";

#make sure the file is not greater than 500k in size if it is then report the Error page for file to big
if ($FileSize > 500000)
	{
	header("Location: errors/ErrorFileSize.html");
	exit();
	}

#create a bounday string
$num			= md5(time());
$bound_text 	= "Multipart_Boundary_x{$num}x";
$bound 			= "--".$bound_text."\r\n";
$bound_last 	= "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";

#set the header information before including the text and file details
$headers 		= "From: website@xlautomation.com.au\r\n";
$headers 		.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers		.= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"";

#now include the text of the message before including the file
$msg 			= "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n";
$msg			.= $bound;
$msg	 		.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
  					."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"
  					.$Comments."\r\n\n"
  					.$bound;

#now set the file name for the function to return the file for sending
$file 			= file_get_contents($FilePath);

#now add the file to the message contents for sending
$msg	 		.= "Content-Type:  {$FileType}; name=\"{$FileName}\"\r\n"
  					."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
					."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"{$FileName}\"\r\n"
  					."\r\n"
  					.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
  					.$bound_last;

#now ready to send the email

	{
		header("Location: Thankyou.html");

	} 	else {

    	header("Location: errors/ErrorFileUpload.html");

	}

?>

 

I've used the implode() function to join all the elements together with a comma.

The problem is that, because you can select mutiple products, it returns an array of selected products. Try:

$Product 	= $_POST['ProductSelected'];				#assign value

	}

?>

 

I've used the implode() function to join all the elements together with a comma.

 

Ok...tried that change and now the field is supplied in the email without any values included....

Did I only need to change the one line of code for the implode() function to work ?

I changed the following line....

 

$Comments .= "Products Selected  :".implode(',',$Product)."\n";

 

Thanks for your help on this....
