Hello! I am having some problems with a monster contact form. It was working fine on my test server, but now I am getting errors and warnings on my clients server. I believe the problem is the PHP mailer file is messing up when not all the radio or checkboxes are checked. I'm still learning this type of coding - any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Here is the form: www.lvgraphics.net/quote.html
Here is the mailer PHP page: www.lvgraphics.net/mailer.php


thank you!!!

Hey Jason,
You might want to begin by reviewing your HTML. Since you have different radio button groups, try grouping each radio button with fieldset tags.


For example:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;form method="POST" action="mailer.php"&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;fieldset&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="radio" value="V1" checked name="R1"&gt;Value One (Checked By Default)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="radio" name="R1" value="V2"&gt;Value Two&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="radio" name="R1" value="V3"&gt;Value Three&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/fieldset&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>


Having default values checked may also help. When null values are applicable, simply create a new radio saying "Not Applicable" or whatever.

Tip #2

You might want to also try giving input names and ids different values such as:

name="NameOne" value="ValueOne"

and not

name="NameOne" value="NameOne"


I am pretty certain that will help eliminate some errors. The rest may lie in the way your are passing your HTML over - or - with the mailer script itself. I am not sure really.

If you have any other questions, just post. Also, I can script you a basic mailer for a pretty low price.
