Sending values of combo boxes by email

[maciek4]

I have a form. The user clicks on checkbox and combo box is activated. He selects the value in the combo box from 1 to 5 (which indicated importance factor) and the value is sent by email. the problem is that the value is not sent and I dont know why. Anybody knows how to fix it?

[code]
$need = array();
$importance = array();

    $importance[0] = $_POST["importance"];
    $importance[1] = $_POST["importance1"];[/code]

[code]
$mailBody .= "I need english to:\n\n";
        if(isset($need['friend'])) {$mailBody .= "- social reasons\n";
        $mailBody .= "Importance: ".$importance[0]."\n\n";}
        if(isset($need['sell'])) {$mailBody .= "- sale and negotiations\n";
        $mailBody .= "Importance: ".$importance[1]."\n\n";}[/code]

[code]
<form action="analize_rq.html" method="post" name="order">
[/code]

[code]
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="need[friend]" value="friend" onclick="javascript:document.order.importance.disabled=false" <? echo isset($need['friend']) ? 'checked' : ''; ?> >&nbsp;social reasons<br>

<select disabled="true" name="importance">
    <option value="0" <? echo ($importance[0] == '0' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>-</option>
    <option value="1" <? echo ($importance[0] == '1' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>1</option>
    <option value="2" <? echo ($importance[0] == '2' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>2</option>
    <option value="3" <? echo ($importance[0] == '3' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>3</option>
    <option value="4" <? echo ($importance[0] == '4' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>4</option>
    <option value="5" <? echo ($importance[0] == '5' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>5</option>
    </select>

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="need[sell]" value="sell" onclick="javascript:document.order.importance1.disabled=false"<? echo isset($need['sell']) ? 'checked' : ''; ?>>&nbsp;sales and negotiations<br>

<select name="importance1" disabled="true">
<option value="0" <? echo ($importance[1] == '0' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>-</option>
    <option value="1" <? echo ($importance[1] == '1' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>1</option>
    <option value="2" <? echo ($importance[1] == '2' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>2</option>
    <option value="3" <? echo ($importance[1] == '3' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>3</option>
    <option value="4" <? echo ($importance[1] == '4' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>4</option>
    <option value="5" <? echo ($importance[1] == '5' ? 'selected' : '') ?>>5</option>

correct
single value.

The options are 1-5. It looks like this

social reasons (checkbox) importance (combo box)
sales and negotiations (checkbox) importance (combo box)

If I click on checkbox 1 ----> compbobox 1 is activated and I can select a value there.

If I select values 1 in combobox 1 and 5 in combobox 2, in the email I should get

social reasons:
importance: 1

sales and negotiations:
importance: 5

Check the code complty before making any comments
i hve added some extra code to your code plz check each and every lin in the php tag

[maciek4]

why not highlight the extra code? It would make it easier to find.

I believe you only added this part:

$mail_to = "name@domian.com"; //To mail which is retrieved form the data base
$mail_from = "name@domian.com"; //From mail
$mail_subject = "Details12";//subject header
/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; //setting the mime version. To send the html we have to set MIME ver 1.0
########################################################################
# IMP IF THIS CODE DOESNT WORK ADD \r\n INSTEAD OF \n IN HEADERS
#######################################################################
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; //for send ing the html file
/* additional headers */

$headers .= "From: Ansar<name@domian.com>\n"; //headers from address
//$headers .= "Cc: name@example.com\n";
//$headers .= "Bcc: name@example.com\n";
//$body=htmlentities($body);
//Function to send mail
mail($mail_to,$mail_subject,$mailBody,$headers);
?>

I already have a function to send mail and it works correctly, the problem that I have is that the value from the combo box is not being sent. In my email I am getting this:

Social reasons:
Importance:

Sales and negotiations:
Importance:

no value in the importance.

[ansarka]

if(isset($need['friend']))
{
$mailBody .= "- social reasons\n";
$mailBody .= "Importance:[i] $importance[0] [/i]\n\n";
}
if(isset($need['sell']))
{
$mailBody .= "- sale and negotiations\n";
$mailBody .= "Importance:[i] $importance[1] [/i]\n\n";
}
