Help with getting the value of a dropdown box within a radio
I have a couple of radio buttons which has an onclick feature to them. Within each of these radio buttons there are sub-dropdown boxes. What I want to do is when I click on the radio option and then subsequently choose an option from the drop down box, I need the values of the drop down boxes as well within the email that will be sent out. At the moment, all I get is the radio button value passed into my email (probably because that’s all I am calling at the moment). I have no idea on how to get the values of the drop down boxes in conjuction with the radio button values.
At the moment all I get within my email is this:
Server Specs : Virtual Machine (if I choose the Virtual Machine radio option)
Attached is a snipet of the code that I am using.
<label class="description" for="machine">Machine Type </label>
<span>
<input id="Virtual Machine" name="machine" class="element radio" type="radio" value="Virtual Machine" onclick="showstuff('vmdiv'); hidestuff('physdiv');"/>
<label class="choice" for="Virtual Machine" >Virtual Machine</label>
<div id="vmdiv" style="display:none">
<font color="#4C787E">
<br>Operating System:<br>
<select name="Virtual Machine">
<option value="none">None</option>
<option value="Windows Server 2003">Windows Server 2003</option>
<option value="Windows Server 2008">Windows Server 2008</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>Storage Pool:<br>
<select name="Virtual Machine">
<option value="cpenas">CPE NAS (standard data pool)</option>
<option value="pool2">pool2</option>
<option value="pool3">pool3</option>
</select><br>
</font>
</div>
<input id="Physical Machine" name="machine" class="element radio" type="radio" value="Physical Machine" onclick="showstuff('physdiv'); hidestuff('vmdiv');"/>
<label class="choice" for="Physical Machine">Physical Machine</label>
<div id="physdiv" style="display:none">
<font color="#4C787E">
<br><b>Physical Machine</b>
<input type="text">
</font>
</div>
</span>
and the php for the email that I am using is
<?php
//error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$errors = '';
$machine = '';
if(isset(
$_POST['submit']))
{
$machine = $_POST['machine'];
}
if( empty(
$errors))
{
$email_subject = "New Server Order Form submission\n";
$email_body = "You have received a NEW SERVER ORDER.\n";
$email_body .= "\n Server Specs:" .$machine;
$to = "abc@somemail.com";
mail($to, $email_subject, $email_body);
header('Location: New form thank you.html');
}
So my basic requirement is to get something like this in my email if I choose Virtual machine and its sub options
Server Specs : Virtual Machine Windows Server 2003 pool2
Thanks for the help. I did a brief search through the site but I did not know what exactly to look for.
