Thread: Drop Down list/menu in the sidebar-contact.php

Drop Down list/menu in the sidebar-contact.php

Hello All,

I have raised this question many time and nobody answers it. Then I have done some research and came up with the following codes.

What I have done:

In the sidebar-contact.php, I have created a drop down field as you can see it below:


sidebar-contact.php


<select name="from_roomtypes" id="from_roomtypes">

<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Select One</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Single Room</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Twin Room</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Double Room</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Triple Room</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Family Room</option>
<option class="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['from_roomtypes'])) echo stripslashes($_POST['from_roomtypes']); ?>">Suit Room</option>
</select>



Then I have created two lines in the theme-emails.php file as you can see it below.

theme-emails.php


$from_roomtypes = strip_tags($_POST['from_roomtypes']);

$message .= sprintf(__('Room Types: %s', 'appthemes'), $from_roomtypes) . "\r\n";

Everything is written in right places.No worries there...

I can see the drop down filed list/menu at my sidebar contact form.

However, when I submit an enquiry, I receive an email without the value of the Room Types.

That means I am doing something wrong in the sidebar-contact.php form..

I thought someone might help me out after all this. I promise you if you solve this then I will write down a very good tutorial on this.

Thanks
