Option Value problems

PHP
1

Hi guys. Have a form all working well apart from the following:

Am trying to email a value when a user selects 3 options from a selection box

I am using the following code in my form

<div class="span-6 last">
                <li> 
                <label for="vanType">Do you require:</label>
    				<select  id="van_type" name="van_type" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['van_type']))  echo $_POST['van_type'];?>" class="requiredField packing" />
                    <option value=" " >- Please select -</option>
					<option value="One Man">One Man and Van</option>
					<option value="Two Men and Van">Two Men and Van</option>
					<option value="Two Men and Two Vans">Two Men and Two Vans</option>
					</select>
                    <?php if($van_typeError != ' ') { ?>
						<span class="error"><?=$van_typeError;?></span>
					<?php } ?>
                 </li>
		</div>

Then I use the following to handle the form details

//Check to make sure sure that van type is submitted
		if(trim($_POST['van_type']) === '')  {
			$van_typeError = 'Please select man van type';
			$hasError = true;
		} else {
			$van_typeError = trim($_POST['van_type']);
		}

Then it gets emailed if the user selects one of the options like so

//If there is no error, send the email
		if(!isset($hasError)) {

			$emailTo = 'myemail';
			$subject = 'Home Removal Quote from '.$name;
			$sendCopy = trim($_POST['sendCopy']);
			$body = "Name: $name \
\
Phone: $phone \
\
Mobile: $mobile \
\
Email: $email \
\
Date of Removal: $datepicker \
\
Packaging Service: $packing \
\
Stop on Route: $stop_on_route \
\
Van Type: $van_type \
\
Comments: $comments";
			$headers = 'From: Home Removal Quote <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\\r\
" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;
			
			mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

			if($sendCopy == true) {
				$subject = 'You emailed Your Name';
				$headers = 'From: Go Man and Van <info@gomanandvan.co.uk>';
				mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
			}

			$emailSent = true;

		}
	}
} ?>

Have all working correctly with my other form fields but cannot get a value emailed. Any ideas why guys. Thanks

error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of the script will expose the problem

There is no error shrapnel. It gets emailed but the value in my email for that particular option field is blank.

There is.
Can you see it if it happens anyway?

} else {
  $van_typeError = trim($_POST['van_type']);
}

My guess is the error is in this line. Can you find it? :smiley:

Yeah I see it guido2004

} else {
$van_type = trim($_POST[‘van_type’]);
}

Think that sorts it now. Cheers mate
