I am working on letting my client edit fields on their reservations form.

I have everything working properly in the form and the fields appear properly.

But the mail script is breaking.

Original Script

<?php



$tour=$_POST['tour'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$address=$_POST['address'];
$citystatezip=$_POST['citystatezip'];
$roomates=$_POST['roomates'];
$departure=$_POST['departure'];
$smoking=$_POST['smoking'];
$message=$_POST['message'];





$to='EMAIL ADDRESS';

$headers = 'From: '.$name."\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$subject ='Reservation From Rileytours.com';
$body='You have a reservation from Rileytours.com.'."\n\n";

$body.='Tour Name: '.$tour."\n";
$body.='Name: '.$name."\n";
$body.='Email: '.$email."\n";
$body.='Phone Number: '.$phone."\n";
$body.='Address: '.$address."\n";
$body.='City/State/Zip: '.$citystatezip."\n";
$body.='Roomate Name(s): '.$roomates."\n";
$body.='Departure City: '.$departure."\n";
$body.='Smoking Preference: '.$smoking."\n";
$body.='Special Request: '."\n".$message."\n";

if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
die("<img src=\"img/check green sm.png\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5px\" /><strong>Thanks. Your reservation has been sent and someone will contact you with a confirmation shortly. <br/>
    If you need immediate assistance please contact us at the phone numbers below.</strong>"); 
} else {
die('Oops! Your email failed for some reason. Please try it again and see if it will go through.<br/>
If it does not work again please contact us directly.');
}

?>

This is what I have but I know that I have the code from the CMS assembled wrong

<?php
 
  $libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
  $dirsToCheck = array('D:/HostingSpaces/rileytours/rileytours.com/wwwroot/','','../','../../','../../../');
  foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
  if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

  list($reservation_fieldsRecords, $reservation_fieldsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
    'tableName'   => 'reservation_fields',
    'loadUploads' => false,
    'allowSearch' => false,
  ));
  
$email=$_POST['email'];
foreach ($reservation_fieldsRecords as $record): 
$echo htmlencode($record['title'])=$_POST ['echo htmlencode($record['form_field'])']; 
endforeach
$departure=$_POST['departure'];
$smoking=$_POST['smoking'];
$message=$_POST['message'];




$to='EMAIL ADDRESS';

$headers = 'From: '.$fullname1."\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$subject ='Reservation From Rileytours.com';
$body='You have a reservation from Rileytours.com.'."\n\n";


$body.='Email: '.$email."\n";
foreach ($reservation_fieldsRecords as $record): 
$body.='echo htmlencode($record['title']): '.$echo htmlencode($record['form_field']) ."\n";
endforeach
$body.='Departure City: '.$departure."\n";
$body.='Smoking Preference: '.$smoking."\n";
$body.='Special Request: '."\n".$message."\n";



if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
die("<img src=\"img/check green sm.png\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"5px\" /><strong>Thanks. Your reservation has been sent and someone will contact you with a confirmation shortly. <br/>
    If you need immediate assistance please contact us at the phone numbers below.</strong>"); 
} else {
die('Oops! Your email failed for some reason. Please try it again and see if it will go through.<br/>
If it does not work again please contact us directly.');
}

?>

How should these lines be written?

Thanks for your help

Hi Michael,

What is the goal you want to achieve?

The goal should be to allow the client to add/subtract/edit fields in the system and have them show in the form. The form on the page I'm working on works just fine. But the mail script needs to reflect the same fields.

I need correct code for getting the script to work with the CMS.

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

If I understand it right, you have a form that's generated from reservation_fields and will submit the values based on the dynamic field names. And you want to use those values to generate an email?

If that's the case here is what you need to put the post data into the email body:

foreach ($reservation_fieldsRecords as $record){
 $body .= htmlencode($record['title']) . ': ' . htmlencode($_POST[$record['form_field']]) . "\n";
}

Hi Michael,

If you use reservation_fieldsRecords to generate the form fields and their names, and you want to use the posted values to make an email out of that. You don't need the first loop. Just grab the post values and put them into the body variable. And that's what my code does.

If there's an error please post the error so I can figure out what's wrong.
