Hi,
I need to mail the results of an orderform to the client.
The quantity is in a number field the description in text only and the total is text.

My php prints the number and description but ignores the total:

*please pardon messy coding I am a designer - not clever -lol

<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "email@example.com";

/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$PROD_SP_485 = check_input($_POST['PROD_SP_485']);
$platter1R = check_input($_POST['platter1R']);

$order_total = check_input($_POST['order_total']);

/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
/*if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}*/

/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
/*if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))
{
$website = '';
}*/

/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "

Order for outside catering as follows: 

$PROD_SP_485 Cheese and Biscuit Platter $platter1R 
$order_total

------------------------------------------
";

/*Prepare the autoresponder subject*/
$respond_subject = "Outside Catering from Casa Toscana";
/*Prepare autoresponder message*/
$respond_message = "Dear Valued client

a quick glance gives no indication for any obvious errors

$order_total = check_input($_POST['order_total']);

Have you checked the spelling of your input field?

at the top of you page do something like this:
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
exit();

that will show you what is posted to your php page. Maybe thats where the error is

if i understand the error corectly, you must define the admin email somewhere in your included file.

I have been able to work out the email error - I find it difficult to understand the relationship between the file and the includes.
I am trying to edit the four items in the example by increasing the number of array items and then displaying the new added data in the form but it keeps to the original 4 items - I really am too new at this
