电子邮件中的联系表缺少字段

Question

I am having a problem getting two variables to be sent from my contact form. when the form submits, I get all the fields except these which are empty searchType: date. I think I may have missed something but can not see what does anyone have any idea? I am also using javascript to create a cascading dropdown effect so that the dates are dependant on the course selected.

<label for="training">What kind of training?</label>
<select id="searchType" class="fixed-size-drop">
    <option value="sessions">Introduction to Marketing</option>
    <option value="files">Social Media Workshop</option>
    <option value="clients">Advanced Marketing Workshop</option>
    <option value="firstaid">First Aid Training</option>
</select>

<label for="date">Choose your Date:</label>
<select id="sessions" class="fixed-size-drop2">
    <option value="020914">2nd sept 2014</option>
    <option value="18_sept_14">18th sept 2014</option>
</select>

<select id="files" class="fixed-size-drop2">
    <option value="11_sept_14">11th sept 2014</option>
    <option value="18_sept_14">18th sept 2014</option>
</select>

<select id="clients" class="fixed-size-drop2">
    <option value="9_sept_14">9th sept 2014</option>
    <option value="25_sept_14">25th sept 2014</option>
</select>

<select id="firstaid" class="fixed-size-drop2">

    <option value="16_sept_14">16th September 2014</option>
</select>
</div>

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"){

    // all your form processing code goes in here, including the mail() statement.
    $EmailFrom = "$name";
    $EmailTo = "email@email.co.uk";
    $Subject = "Online contact form";
    $name = trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));

    $Body .= "newsletter: ";
    $Body .= $newsletter;
    $Body .= "\n";

    // send email 
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: $EmailFrom");

    // redirect to success page 
    if ($success){
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.domain.co.uk/thankyou.html\">";
    }

    else{
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.domain.co.uk/error.html\">";

Answer 1

You need to put the name attribute on your select elements. This is the attribute which defines the name in the $_POST array.

eg

<select id="sessions" class="fixed-size-drop2" name="sessions">

Answer 2

Your fields should have a name property for PHP to receives them Your select element is missing the name property:

<select id="searchType" class="fixed-size-drop">

should be

<select id="searchType" name="searchType" class="fixed-size-drop">
