[thelist] PHP Form Help

Get rid of - in your variables, and if you must use long variable names use
something more conventional like

$bestTime

$howDidYouFindUs 

$numberBedrooms

$finishedBasement

Etc...

Also, get into the habit of writing your code using register globals off:

http://us3.php.net/register_globals

so if you have a form with the following fields:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="bestTime">

Then in your php logic

$msg .= "Email:   $_POST['email']\n";
$msg .= "BestTime: $_POST['bestTime']\n";

Good luck!

I've created and used small PHP forms and now am attempting a 
large inquiry form and it's not sending all the results.

I believe I have part of the form code wrong.

The form does not send email results for anything past
$msg .= "BestTime:		$BestTime\n";
except for comments.

I would appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks,

Jeff

Here's the php code:

<?

$msg = "E-mail from Mini Maid Contact Form \n";
$msg .= "From:
$name\n";
$msg .= "Email:
$email\n";
$msg .= "Address:
$Address\n";
$msg .= "City:
$City\n";
$msg .= "state:
$state\n";
$msg .= "zipcode:
$zipcode\n";
$msg .= "HomePhone:
$HomePhone\n";
$msg .= "WorkPhone:
$WorkPhone\n";
$msg .= "Email:
$Email\n";
$msg .= "BestTime:
$BestTime\n";
$msg .= "How-did-you-find-us:
$How-did-you-find-us\n";
$msg .= "Number-Bedrooms:
$Number-Bedrooms\n";
$msg .= "Number-Bathrooms:
$Number-Bathrooms\n";
$msg .= "Finished-Basement:

$msg .= "Square-Foot:

$msg .= "Number-in-home:

$msg .= "Number-in-home:

$msg .= "How-often-cleaned:

$msg .= "Comments:

$to = "jeff.hinds at netagency.com";
$subject = "Mini Maid Feedback";
$mailheaders = "From: Mini Maid Web Site <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $email\n\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

?>

<HTML>
