Sessions in mail() function failing

[bukwus]

Hi

 

I'm working on a form that, when submitted via POST, the info goes to a separate PHP file for processing and then returns to the form page. Pretty standard stuff. Everything is working, except, when it sends an email via the mail() function, the first SESSION (containing what the user selected for "Country") works fine, but the second (which is supposed to contain what they selected for "Best Time to Call") will only display "Array" in the email.

 

Here's the form, sorry for the huge arrays:

<?php
		session_start();
		// SET ARRAYS
		$countriesNum = 237;
		$countries = array(1 => 'United States','United Kingdom','Canada','Afghanistan','Albania','Algeria','American Samoa','Andorra','Angola','Anguilla','Antarctica','Antigua & Barbuda','Argentina','Armenia','Aruba','Ascension Islands','Australia','Austria','Azerbaijan','Bahamas','Bahrain','Bangladesh','Barbados','Belarus','Belgium','Belize','Benin','Bermuda','Bhutan','Bolivia','Bosnia & Herzegowina','Botswana','Bouvet Island','Brazil','British Indian Ocean Territory','Brunei','Bulgaria','Burkina Faso','Burundi','Cambodia','Cameroon','Cape Verde','Cayman Islands','Central African Republic','Chad','Chile','China','Christmas Island','Cocos (Keeling) Islands','Colombia','Comoros','Congo, Dem.

And here's an example of the resulting email content:

 

Country: American Samoa
Best time to call: Array

[tipsmail7]

It's strange

 

When I copy that code and try it my apache, the email body was expected (not an 'Array' word)

 

result in my email:

==============================

Subject: Info request from Interface Financial Group on Buzgate

X-PHP-Originating-Script: 0:form-test.php

From: oddidego@yahoo.com

 

Country: Antarctica

 

Best time to call: Evening

==============================

Crap! I just don't get it.

Well, I 'run' that form in my web server, and it produces an expected mail, e.g., it writes Best time to call: Evening not Best time to call: Array. So why your email-result is not same as my email-result?

 

*sorry if you don't understand my English. Or maybe I just don't understand your question?

No, I understand what you're saying, I just don't understand why my code won't work for me.
