Selection box mail problem

[richard_PHP]

Hello all,

 

I have a contact form which has a drop-down-menu (the reason why a user is using the form). I am wanting the option which has been selected to appear in the PHP scripted email as the subject. I am just sat here staring at the code and getting nowhere with it. Could anyone help me?

 

HTML form

<form name="contact_form" method="post" action="mail.php" onsubmit="return validate_form();">
<p>Full Name <em>(required)</em>:<br />
<input class="tb-focus" type="text" name="name" id="name" size="40" value="" /></p>
<p>Reason for Contact:<br />
<select class="select">
<option value="CV">CV Request</option>
<option value="enquiry">General Enquiry</option>
<option value="request">Request for Audition</option>
</select>
<p>Email Address <em>(required)</em>:<br />
<input class="tb-focus" type="text" name="email" id="email" size="40" value="" /></p>
<p>Agency Name <em>(if applicable)</em>:<br />
<input class="tb-focus" type="text" name="business" id="business" size="40" value="" /></p>
<p>Contact Number <em>(required)</em>:<br />
<input class="tb-focus" type="text" name="number" id="number" size="40" value="" /></p>
<p>Message <em>(required)</em>:<br />
<textarea class="tb-focus" name="message" id="message" rows="6" cols="40"></textarea></p>
<p><input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit Form" /></p>
</form>

 

PHP email POST:

<?php
// Assign the posted values as variables to use later
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$reason = $_POST['sdsdsd'];
$business = $_POST['business'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "*********";
$subject = "Email Contact Form - " . $_POST[name];
$message = "Filled out contact form on portfolio website.\n \n Full Name: " . $_POST[name] . "\n Email: " . $_POST[email] . "\n Business Name: " . $_POST[business] . "\n Contact Number: " . $_POST[number] . "\n Message: " . $_POST[message];

//leave the next 2 lines alone
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1rn"; 
if (empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($number) || empty($message)) {
echo "<p>You appear to not have filled in the necessary fields.</p>";
echo "<p>Please click <a href='contact.html'>here</a> to re-enter your information.</p>";
}
elseif(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "Sorry, there has been an error! Please try sending your message again. Click <a href='contact.htm'>here</a> to start again.";
} 
else {
echo "Thank you for taking the time to fill out the contact form. I will get back to you as soon as I can.";
}
?>

 

I have absolutely no idea where to start with this.

 

Thanks in advance for the help
