thanks for your time , me first issue was solved ,
thanks to you ,
but the second one unfortunately didn’t. i’ve gave radio buttons the same name and change their value as following

<input id="element_4_1" name="element_4" class="element radio" type="radio" value="free" />
<input id="element_4_1" name="element_4" class="element radio" type="radio" value="premium" />

when i select a radio button it suppose to have the value free or premium but it have the value 1
i tried your code (i’ve put it right under $n value )

$sub = isset($_POST['element_4']) ? $_POST['element_4'] : "no subject";

and tried this

$sub = $_POST['element_4'];

but it didn’t work
could you goon with your help please
thanks in advance

Answer 1

put

$body=$n;   

after

$n= $_POST['element_1'] . $_POST['element_3'];

it works if in fact $_POST['element_1'] and $_POST['element_3'] are being posted to this page !

and as for your radio buttons
all of them should have the same name and there values should be the subject of your email

$sub = isset($_POST['radio']) ? $_POST['radio'] : "no subject";
