OK, I am not laughing but am somewhat amused, mostly because you have
a lot of learning ahead of you. ;-) I would imagine that there is a
time for learning and a time to finish a project and move on to the
next, so I offer a quick solution.
Primarily what you need to do is take all of those form vars and plug
them into the body of an email. Posting a form creates an array of
keys and values. Let's just return those to the email:
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
$bodyArr[] = "$key : $value";
}
$body = implode ("\n", $bodyArr);
mail ($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
So what I have done here is take every POST var, created an array of
values and keys, then added them to the body of the email with a
newline between each.
Of course, some of those vars you may not want to pass to the email,
so you can filter those out and capitalizing the keys would be nice:
$noSendArr = array ('submit');
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
if (!in_array ($key, $noSendArr) {
$bodyArr[] = ucwords($key)." : $value";
}
}
That should get you started. Good luck!
