Quotation Form – Echo two values from a PHP form selection

  • I am trying to create a quotation form. This will be email to myself and the person who has filled in the form. I want to echo the selected value (I currently have this working) & assign a integer value to the selection. I then want to add the integers up to give a total. In my example below I have just included one selection but I will have quite a few of them in the form. Any help would be great!

    <label>What time would you like to start?
  		<select required name="drop_off_time" id="drop_off_time-select" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['drop_off_time']))  echo $_POST['drop_off_time'];?>">
  			<option value="0"></option>
  			<option value="8:00am">8:00am</option>
  			<option value="8:30am">8:30am</option>
  			<option value="9:00am">9:00am</option>
  		</select>
  	</label>

    if(isset($_REQUEST['drop_off_time']) && $_REQUEST['drop_off_time'] == '0') {
    echo 'Please select a time.';
    }
    $drop_off_time = $_POST['drop_off_time'];

    $emailTo = '[email protected]';
	$subject = 'Fees Form Submission from '.$name;
	$sendCopy = trim($_POST['sendCopy']);
	$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments: $comments \n\nDrop Off Time: $drop_off_time \n\nTotal: ￡$total";
	$headers = 'From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

    mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

    This all works fine. My problem is that I want to assign an integer to the selection. I’ve done this using a switch but it keeps printing out the selected value not the new value I have assigned. The code for this is below.

    $drop_off_time_price = 0;
switch ($drop_off_time_price) {
case 0;
	echo 0;
	break;
case "8:00am":
  echo 100;
  break;
case "8:30am":
  echo 10000;
  break;
case "9:00am":
  echo 100000;
  break;
}
//Getting the total
$total = $drop_off_time_price;

    This is what the email looks like

    Name: Frank
    Email: [email protected]
    Comments: I get the selected value but no the total….
    Drop Off Time: 8:00am
    Total: ￡0

    The problem was with my switch. It isnt checking against the selection. Here is how I fixed it.

    1. Removed case; 0 – It needed a : not ; after case and it was already being checked
    2. Made the switch check drop_off_price
    $drop_off_time_price = 0;
	switch ($drop_off_time) {
	case "8:00am":
	  $drop_off_time_price = 100;
	  break;
	case "8:30am":
	  $drop_off_time_price = 10000;
	  break;
	case "9:00am":
	  $drop_off_time_price = 100000;
	  break;
	}

    Hope this helps anyone else who gets stuck with a similar issue.
