Hey I'd like to incorporate telephone number in my form. I tried just to add fields in the form and what I thought was the right code in the php file too, but didnt work. the form works well with all other info though.
What code do I need to add phone number and a dropdown with multiple choices?

thanx, but I dont want to use MySQL at this stage, I just want to make a mailform with dropdown choices and spaces to fill in a telephone number. I have already made a mailform that is working good, but without the dropdown and phone in it. tried to do phone but didn't work. it's probably v v easy.
Not sure about what php commands to use

Oh sorry I misunderstood your question. If you could post the code of your existing form then I can show you how to expand on that.

So let me get it straight. You want to gather information from this form and send it in an email.

Code: 
<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

    $element1 = $_POST['element1'];
    $element2 = $_POST['element2'];
    $element3 = $_POST['element3'];

    $body = "element1 = $element1 \n element2 = $element2 \n element3 = $element3";
    $recipient = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'Sample Form';

    mail($recipient, $subject, $body);

    echo 'mail sent';

}

?>

The code to add to that form for a customer phone is:

Code: 
<tr>
<td>Phone Number</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><textarea name="phone" cols="50" rows="4" id="detail"></textarea></td>
</tr>

What do you want to do with the phone number then? Do you want to send it as part of the email?

What do you mean by two dropdowns?

PHP: 
<td>Phone Number</td>
<td>:</td>

:D

Keep It Simple:

PHP: 
<td>Phone Number :</td>

php

I just need two dropdowns added, and then the php code to make it work, sending it to the mail I have chosen.
making the table is not the problem, but making the php-form to send the information the customer has chosen in the dropdown and the phone..
I tried just adding phone in the php like this:


<tr>
<td>phone</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" size="50"></td>
</tr>

and in the php send_contact file like this

// From
$phone="from: $phone <$phone>";

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header,$phone);

//etc.


like in this example: http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/8.html


didnt work, and then I'd like two dropdown menus too, with the possibility to choose from different products, as in the code I posted earlier..

Appreciate all help!

This is the code of the form.
What I miss is the correct "send_form.php" to accompany it

thanx again!
