    Retrieve information with radio buttons

    I created a site with the help of HTML and PHP for myself to maintain database.

    On my site, I have a form that has 3 radio buttons (1 for "Request for appointment", 2 for "Request for information", 3 for other purposes).

    Everything is ok except for radio buttons.

    My HTML code for the form:

    HTML Code:
      <FORM Method= "POST" action= "do_sendform.php" name= "Contact"> 
          <p align= "center"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Reason for contact: </font> </p> 
          <p align= "center"> 
    	  <input type= "radio" name= "DemandYou" value= "Demand meeting you"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Application for appointment</font> 
    	  <input type= "radio" name= "Intelligence" value= "Intelligence"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Inquiry </font> 
    	  <input type= "radio" name= "Other" value= "Other"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Other: </font> <input type= "text" name= "Other"> </p> 
          <p align= "center"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Your First & Last Name: </font> <br> 
      <INPUT Type= "text" name= "sender_name" size= 30> 
      </p> 
          <p align= "center"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Your email address: </font> <br> 
      <INPUT Type= "text" name= "sender_email" size= 30> 
      </p> 
          <p align= "center"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> Message: </font> <br> 
      <textarea name= "message" cols= "63" rows= "8"> </textarea> 
      </p> 
          <p align= "center"> <font face= "Bell Gothic Std Black"> <INPUT type= "submit" value= "SEND"> </font> </p> 
      </FORM>
    and the PHP code

    PHP Code:
      <?php 
      $msg 
    .= "Sender E-Mail: \t $sender_email \n"
      
    $msg .= "Message: \t $message \n \n"
      
    $recipient "xyz@gmail.com"
      
    $mailheaders "Need fragrance <> \n"
      
    $mailheaders .= 'Reply-to: $sender_email \n \n "; 
      $subject = "subject: $contact \n \n"; 

      Mail ($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);  

      echo "<html> <head>"; 
      echo "<title> Need fragrance - Contacts </title> </head> <body>; 
      echo "<h1 align=center> THANKS, $sender_name </h1>"; 
      echo "<p align=center>"; 
      echo "Your mail has been sent. </p>"; 
      echo "</body> </html>"; 
      ?>
    I tried all the tests with the radio buttons but depending on the selected radio button, the subject of the email sent is changed to one of the 3 titles listed above.

    Are the radio buttons of the same "name"? If yes then you can easily retrieve the "value" of the selected radio in $_POST ['name_of_radios']

    Re: Retrieve information with radio buttons

    I was just testing what you told me and it works. But I still have some questions:

    1. I added a text box for radio buttons. Is this possible, when this button is activated it retrieves the value of the text box?

    2. As soon as the form is valid, I come on a white page that returns a message to the user and say that the message was taken. I want to add a button over there namely "Back". Is it possible? How?

    Re: Retrieve information with radio buttons

    1 - Its very simple. If the third option is selected, you use the $_POST ['name_of_field'] to get its value.

    2 - I do not understand what you are trying to achieve.

    1. Thanks for the solution

    2. Once the user clicked to send the form, with the help of php code, the user gets a message saying the message has been sent. The problem is that the only way to go back is to click on the button "Back" of the browser. I would like to add a button on this page to return for example on the home page?
