Creating a PHP form with radio buttons...?

Question

I'm currently designing a site that makes use of an online poll. The poll has radio buttons for each of the choices, with the last one being a text box ("other"). Does anyone have any PHP code I could use in order to send the results to a specific email address? It would probably have a lot of "if/then" statements, but CANNOT make use of databases.

Here's what the form looks like (it's the poll on the lower right):

Answer 1

form action should be something like send_poll_results.php

and send poll results.php would be as follows:


if (isset($_POST['submit'] && $_POST['submit'] == "  SUBMIT  ") {

mail("toaddress","subject",$_POST['radio1']);

?>

May need to make the mail script a bit more secure but thats the just of it.

Answer 2

PHP will not make the data load unless you reload the page. This would require the use of a submit button to pass the selected item back to the page. You will need Javascript to make it automatic.

Answer 3

PHP Has a mail function built in.

mail(to, subject, message, headers);

Normally, you want to put all of those in to variables.

$to = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'Website Poll';
$headers = 'From: Blah Blah ';

$message = 'Whatever message';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
