radio button result not showing

[aschi]

hi everybody,

i'm new to this forum and new to php.
i've been working on an email form for days, and just decided to add in some radio buttons. everything else shows up perfect in the email the php script sends me. but when a radio button is being checked it doesnt show. i'm sure this is simple but i havent been able to find an answer and i've been looking for hours .



this is the php code:

<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$Anrede = $_REQUEST['herr'.checked] ;
$Anrede = $_REQUEST['frau'.checked] ;
$Name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ;
$Vorname = $_REQUEST['Vorname'] ;
$Telefon = $_REQUEST['Telefon'] ;
$radioschreib = $_REQUEST['radioschreib'] ;
$textfieldschreib = $_REQUEST['textfieldschreib'] ;
$radiotranslation = $_REQUEST['radiotranslation'] ;
$textfieldtranslation = $_REQUEST['textfieldtranslation'] ;
$radiobewerb = $_REQUEST['radiobewerb'] ;
$onlineorpaper = $_REQUEST['online'] ;
$onlineorpaper = $_REQUEST['normal'] ;
$textfieldbewerb = $_REQUEST['textfieldbewerb'] ;
$radiotel = $_REQUEST['radiotel'] ;
$select = $_REQUEST['select'] ;
$textfielddauer = $_REQUEST['textfielddauer'] ;
$Firmenname = $_REQUEST['Firmenname'] ;
$radiowebdesign = $_REQUEST['radiowebdesign'] ;
$textareaweb = $_REQUEST['textareaweb'] ;

if (!isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {
header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.de/form.htm" );
}
elseif (empty($email) || empty($Name)) {
header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.de/error.htm" );
}
else {
mail( "myemail@provider.com", "Anfrage form",
"Anrede: $herr; $frau; \nName: $Name; \nVorname: $Vorname; \nEmail: $email; \nTelefon: $Telefon; \nFirma: $Firmenname; \nMessage: $message;
\nSchreibdienst: $radioschreib; \nArt und Umfang: $textfieldschreib; \nÜbersetzung: $radiotranslation;
\nSprache: $textfieldtranslation; \nBewerbungen: $radiobewerb; \nonlineorpaper: $online; \nonlineorpaper: $normal; \nBewerb.-Anmerkungen: $textfieldbewerb;
\nTelefondienst: $radiotel; \nTel.ges.: $select;
\nDauer: $textfielddauer; \nWebdesign: $radiowebdesign; \nwas webdesign: $textareaweb", "From: form" );
header( "Location: http://www.mydomain.de/thankyou.htm" );
}
?>

the html code for the buttons is correct, i am 100% sure there's nothing wrong there.
again, the problem is that in the email the form sends me it doesnt say that either one of the radio buttons was checked.
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

i'd be so embarrassed if something turned out wrong in the html :-D

[ujjwal]

Now if u'r method is post then
variable would be post not request.and as per my understanding

$var = empty($_POST['Anrede']) ? '' : $_POST['lAnrede'];
tried out
or mention the html radiobutton part.

[mark_W]

$_REQUEST can access both $_GET & $_POST data I think, so request should be ok. Although it may be worth trying $_POST instead.

The html looks ok!

Mark.

mmmh does that mean nothing is really wrong with it? isnt there a usual code for radiobuttons to show their value in an email if they were clicked?
keep in mind i'm just a beginner..

Have u checked with that line in u'r php script.

[aschi]

yeah, i put it in, except i dont know where so i just put it anywhere, and it didnt work...
could there be some kind of "if checked show" thing?

[aschi]

this is what the email looks like:

Anrede: ; ; <--here it should be showing either "herr" or "frau" depending on what was chosen
Name: last name;
Vorname: first name;
Email: email@email.com;
Telefon: 121212121212;
Firma: company inc.;
Message: ;
etc...

[ujjwal]

U just send the html form and that radio button only with php script radio button receive part otherwise it is too much complex.

[aschi]

could you explain that a little more?
