Hi there,

I am using the mail function to send an email from my website.

Is there a way of requesting two fields to be inserted into the body of the email?

I know that to request one field you use:
$message = $_REQUEST[“Field1”];

How can you request another field?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Mike

Mike,

You can append fields like so:


[code=php]$message = $_REQUEST["Field1"];

$message .= $_REQUEST["Field2"];[/code]

hope that helps.

@BIOSTALLSep 28.2010 — Haha. I remember I was stuck on this for hours when I was first learning PHP. I was following a book and thought the full stop was actually a bit of dirt on the page so ignored it. How silly did I feel when I figured it out :-P

On a side note and as a bit of advice, getting values via the $_REQUEST method is generally not recommended as it is unsecure. Try using the correct method ($_POST or $_GET) instead.

All the best

Success!
