Question

I’m trying to create am online application for some job postings we have at work.

I have the form items (text boxes / drop downs /etc) portion set up and i have the send email with a captcha part setup

im unclear on how to “call” the value of something like

<select name="education">
        <option value="None">None</option>
        <option value="HighSchool">HighSchool</option>
        <option value="BA/BS">BA/BS</option>
        <option value="MA/MS">MA/MS</option>
        <option value="MBA">MBA</option>
        <option value="Ph.D">Ph.D</option>
        <option value="Other">Other</option>
    </select>

In the mail portion of the code how do insert the value of the education dropdown into the body?

            $to = "[e-mail]";
            $subject = "Test mail";
            $message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
            $from = "[e-mail]";
            $headers = "From: [e-mail]";
            mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
            echo "Mail Sent.";

Try:

$message = "Education: " . $_POST["education"];

Make sure to sanitize your form posts though, otherwise people could inject JavaScript or whatever they want into your form.
