I am having trouble figuring our exactly why my php code won't pick up the first name from my form, I hope you guys can help.
Everything else is emailed through fine, just the first name field which is element_1_1.
Here is the PHP:
$<?php
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'example@example.co.uk';
if( empty($_POST['element_1_1']) ||
empty($_POST['element_1_2']) ||
empty($_POST['element_3']) ||
empty($_POST['element_2']) ||
empty($_POST['element_5']) ||
empty($_POST['element_4']))
$name = $_POST['element_1_1'];
$lastname = $_POST['element_1_2'];
$email_address = $_POST['element_3'];
$number = $_POST['element_2'];
$area = $_POST['element_5'];
$discount = $_POST['element_4'];
if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i",
$email_address))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address \n";
}
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "";
$email_body = "".
"\n First Name: $name \n \n Second Name: $lastname \n \n Email: $email_address \n \n Phone Number: $number \n \n Area(s): $area \n \n Discount: $discount \n".
$headers = "From: example@example.co.uk\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: http://www.example.co.uk');
}
?>
