<?php
$where_form_is="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/"));
// Checkbox handling
$field_9_opts = $_POST['field_9'][0];
mail("me@mymail.co.uk","A message from the Website","A message from the Website:

The field that will not submit is field 8. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
