PHP form with checkboxes, radio buttons and file attachment -

i'm having nightmare php form user can fill in, attach doc/pdf , submit. after trying sort out previous code i've used, i've stripped out , think should start again in hope geniuses can help!

here html of contact.php:

<form action="" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">  <p>job title:*<br /> <input name="position" type="text" /></p>  <p>nationality:*<br /> <select name="nationality">   <option value="">-- select 1 --</option>   <option value="afghan">afghan</option>   <option value="albanian">albanian</option>   <option value="algerian">algerian</option>   <option value="zambian">zambian</option>   <option value="zimbabwean">zimbabwean</option> </select> </p>  <p>which country living in?*<br /> <select name="country"> <option value="">-- select 1 --</option> <option value="united kingdom">united kingdom</option> <option value="afghanistan">afghanistan</option> <option value="africa">africa</option> <option value="zambia">zambia</option> <option value="zimbabwe">zimbabwe</option> </select> </p>  <label class="radio" for="checkright">yes/no question?</label><br /> <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="yes" /> yes <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="no" /> no <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="n/a" /> not applicable  <p>yes/no question?<br /> <select name="continue"> <option value="">-- select 1 --</option> <option value="yes">yes</option> <option value="no">no</option> </select> </p>  <p>select resorts:<br /> resort 1<input name="res1" type="checkbox" value="resort 1" /> resort 2<input name="res2" type="checkbox" value="resort 2" /> resort 3<input name="res3" type="checkbox" value="resort 3" /> resort 4<input name="res4" type="checkbox" value="resort 4" /> resort 5<input name="res5" type="checkbox" value="resort 5" /> resort 6<input name="res6" type="checkbox" value="resort 6" />     </p>  <p>don't send form unless checked:* <input type="checkbox" name="parttime" value="yes" /></p>  <p>date of arrival: <input name="arrive" id="datepick" /><br /> date of departure: <input name="depart" id="datepick2" /></p>  <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/datepickr/datepickr.js"></script> <link href="assets/scripts/datepickr/datepickr.css" rel="stylesheet">  <script type="text/javascript"> new datepickr('datepick'); new datepickr('datepick2', { }); </script>   <p>name:*<br /> <input name="name" type="text" /></p>  <p>e-mail:*<br /> <input name="email" type="text" /></p>  <p>telephone:*<br /> <input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextfield" /></p>  <p>upload cv (word of pdf formats only):<br /> <input type="file" name="cv" class="textfield"></p>  <p><input name="submit" value="submit enquiry" class="submitbutton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>  </form>

by way, date boxes work excuse javascript in there!

to prevent spam i've used trick there's hidden url field must left blank form submit can see in php.

below i'm @ php placed above header of contact.php...

<?php  if (array_key_exists('submit', $_post)) { $position = $_post['position']; $arrive = $_post['arrive']; $nationality = $_post['nationality']; $parttime = $_post['parttime']; $depart = $_post['depart']; $name = $_post['name']; $email = $_post['email']; $telephone = $_post['telephone'];  $to = "me@mywebsite.com"; $subject = "recruitment application";  $message = $headers; $message .= "name: " . $_post["name"] . "\r\n"; $message .= "e-mail: " . $_post["email"] . "\r\n";  $headers  = "mime-version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "reply-to: " . $_post["email"] . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'from: website <application@mywebsite.com>' . "\r\n";    $message= " ";  $url = stripslashes($_post["url"]); if (!empty($url)) { header( 'location: http://www.go-away-spam-robots.com' ); exit(); }  if (!isset($warning)) { mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header( 'location: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/sent.php' ); }  }  ?>

i make pretty field compulsory if field left empty (other hidden url field), warning message displayed next field.

also file upload field attach email sent me , have results come through me in table format.

can me form working?

thank , hope hear you!

✓ tested

there few errors , posted below, tested. file attachment part, need that. don't write code, fix given work with.

what happening you're overwriting message line.

$message= " ";

so gets thrown away previous $message variable.

first, start removing line $message = $headers;

and replacing line $message ="";

then removing line

$message= " ";

✓ new body of code:

$message =""; $message .= "name: " . $_post["name"] . "\r\n"; $message .= "e-mail: " . $_post["email"] . "\r\n";  $headers  = "mime-version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "reply-to: " . $_post["email"] . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'from: website <application@mywebsite.com>' . "\r\n";

✓ regarding file attachments

in order attach file, form not contain enctype="multipart/form-data"

it must included , looking following:

<form action="" method="post" name="contact" id="contact" enctype="multipart/form-data">

i suggest google "how attach file email in php" or "email file attachment in php".
