Retrieval of selectlist value from form using php post

[Lost Monk]

Hey people! Very happy to join Daniweb :)

I'm having trouble retrieving form data via php thereby sending it to email. My code is as below. I've listed entire code though problem is only in declaring the selectlist value for POST processing. I've highlighted troubling part in red color. There something wrong there, which i couldn't figure out. I'm able to retrieve all the form fields except selectlist.

Will really appreciate it if anybody can help out on this.

Thanks in advance,
Lost Monk

two problems, you are never pulling 'interestedin' because there is no field on your form named that:
change this line:

<li class="inputbar"><select name="I'm interestd in" value="<?php 
// to this, changing the name of your select box.
<li class="inputbar"><select name="interestedin" value="<?php 
// and then in the top code when you are processing:
//Check to make sure that the interested field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['interestedin']) === '') {
	$interestedError = 'You forgot to enter what your interested in.';
	$hasError = true;
} else {
	$interestedin = trim($_POST['interestedin']);
}

now $interestedin should be set and available to your mail function.
I did not find where you were calling your $emailError / $websiteError, but you can also check for $interestedError as well.

Wow! Thank you very much. How could I miss that... duh! silly me :$

And also thanks for validation part. Now my form works smooth :)
