Submit form How to get the form in an Email

@viathanNov 29.2007

I am having trouble with a form that I want submitted through PHP. When it is submitted the email body has the text fields in it but they are in this form:

firstnamelastnameaddress

There are no spaces and the drop down menu, raido buttons and check boxes wont show up. How can I make it so when they submit the form the email will match the form’s form…if you get that. I have all these listed in my form:

Name
Address
City
State (drop down menu)
Zip
Email

5 Check Boxes (I need to know which ones they check)
4 more text boxes
1 Radio button group with 5 buttons (only 1 can be clicked on and I need to know which they picked)

How can I set up the PHP code for this?

http://www.edsupport.org/index-3.html

Here is the PHP code that I have so far that dosnt work:

[CODE]<? 
 $firstname = $_POST['firstname'] ; 
 $lastname = $_POST['lastname'] ; 
 
 $address = $_POST['address'] ; 
 $city = $_POST['city'] ; 

 $state = $_POST['state'] ; 

 $zip = $_POST['zip'] ; 
 
 $phone = $_POST['phone'] ; 
 
 $email = $_POST['email'] ; 
 
 $psy = $_POST['psy'] ; 
 $speech = $_POST['speech'] ; 
 $ot = $_POST['ot'] ; 
 $pt = $_POST['pt'] ; 
 $teacher = $_POST['teacher'] ; 
 
 $cert1 = $_POST['cert1'] ; 

 $cert2 = $_POST['cert2'] ; 

 $cert3 = $_POST['cert3'] ; 
 
 $hrlyrate = $_POST['hrlyrate'] ; 
 
 $contractdays_1 = $_POST['contractdays_1'] ; 
 $contractdays_2 = $_POST['contractdays_2'] ; 
 $contractdays_3 = $_POST['contractdays_3'] ; 
 $contractdays_4 = $_POST['contractdays_4'] ; 
 $contractdays_5 = $_POST['contractdays_5'] ; 
 
 $message = $first . $last . $address . $psy . $speech . $ot . $pt . $teacher ;
 
 mail( "This Is My Email Address", "Ed Support Application", 
 $message, "From: $email" ); 
 header( "Location: http://www.edsupport.org/thankyou.html" ); 
 ?>[/CODE]

I took my email out of the code above but its in the PHP file I have.

@viathanauthorDec 01.2007 — #any help?

@roscorDec 01.2007 — #I think it may be an headers issue

First your mail() function should include headers, see [URL]http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php[/URL]

from www.uk3.php.net

[code=php]
 
 $to      = '[email protected]';
 $subject = 'the subject';
 $message = 'hello';
 $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "rn" .
 'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "rn" .
 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
 
 mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
 
   [/code]
