I have a questionnaire form on my website that emails me answers submitted by visitors. One of the questions asks users for the best contact time (morning, afternoon, evening) The name of that select class is contact-time.
Currently in the body of the email, it's displayed as Contact-time just like I named it in the html form. I want it to display as Contact Time.
How can I build the body of the email so that it displays contact-time as Contact Time while still being able to fetch the value from select class named contact-time? I've looked through pretty much all questions regarding this and couldn't find any relevant information.
PHP code that builds the email and then sends it
<?php
function constructEmailBody () {
$fields = array("name" => true, "email" => true, "address" => true, "phone" => true, "contact-time" => true);
$message_body = "";
foreach ($fields as $name => $required) {
$postedValue = $_POST[$name];
if ($required && empty($postedValue)) {
errorResponse("$name is empty.");
} else {
$message_body .= ucfirst($name) . ": " . $postedValue . "
";
}
}
return $message_body;
}
//attempt to send email
$emailBody = constructEmailBody();
require './vender/php_mailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$email = new PHPMailer;
$email->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$email->isSMTP();
$email->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$email->SMTPAuth = true;
$email->Username = 'email@domain.com';
$email->Password = 'MyPassword';
$email->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$email->Port = 587;
$email->setFrom($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);
$email->addAddress('email@domain.com');
$email->Subject = 'Estimate Request Answers';
$email->Body = $emailBody;
//try to send the message
if($email->send()) {
echo json_encode(array('message' => 'Thank you! Your message was successfully submitted.'));
} else {
errorResponse('An unexpected error occured while attempting to send the email: ' . $email->ErrorInfo);
}
?>

Thank you for your time in advance and I appreciate any help.
nothing to do with the mail code you can use a simple str_replace() on $name
or
if($name =='whatever'){
$name='something else';
}
or about 10 other options
