Field in contact form - php

Question

I'm new to PHP and have a problem with the following contact form:
The variable: $empresa = $_POST['empresa']; is not working... and I don't understand where the problem is. When I try to use it in the E-Mail sent, it just doesn't show up.
$received_subject = 'Has sido contactado desde www.company.com por ' . $name . '. Empresa' . $empresa . '.' ;
**This is the PHP I'm using: **
THANKS in advance
<?php
if(!$_POST) exit;
function isEmail($email) {
return(preg_match("/^[-_.[:alnum:]]+#((([[:alnum:]]|[[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]-]*[[:alnum:]])\.)+(ad|ae|aero|af|ag|ai|al|am|an|ao|aq|ar|arpa|as|at|au|aw|az|ba|bb|bd|be|bf|bg|bh|bi|biz|bj|bm|bn|bo|br|bs|bt|bv|bw|by|bz|ca|cc|cd|cf|cg|ch|ci|ck|cl|cm|cn|co|com|coop|cr|cs|cu|cv|cx|cy|cz|de|dj|dk|dm|do|dz|ec|edu|ee|eg|eh|er|es|et|eu|fi|fj|fk|fm|fo|fr|ga|gb|gd|ge|gf|gh|gi|gl|gm|gn|gov|gp|gq|gr|gs|gt|gu|gw|gy|hk|hm|hn|hr|ht|hu|id|ie|il|in|info|int|io|iq|ir|is|it|jm|jo|jp|ke|kg|kh|ki|km|kn|kp|kr|kw|ky|kz|la|lb|lc|li|lk|lr|ls|lt|lu|lv|ly|ma|mc|md|me|mg|mh|mil|mk|ml|mm|mn|mo|mp|mq|mr|ms|mt|mu|museum|mv|mw|mx|my|mz|na|name|nc|ne|net|nf|ng|ni|nl|no|np|nr|nt|nu|nz|om|org|pa|pe|pf|pg|ph|pk|pl|pm|pn|pr|pro|ps|pt|pw|py|qa|re|ro|ru|rw|sa|sb|sc|sd|se|sg|sh|si|sj|sk|sl|sm|sn|so|sr|st|su|sv|sy|sz|tc|td|tf|tg|th|tj|tk|tm|tn|to|tp|tr|tt|tv|tw|tz|ua|ug|uk|um|us|uy|uz|va|vc|ve|vg|vi|vn|vu|wf|ws|ye|yt|yu|za|zm|zw)$|(([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5])\.){3}([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5]))$/i",$email));

If all of your other post variables are working then it sounds like the $_POST['empresa'] variable is not making it to the php page. To debug your script you can either switch your form method to GET to see the query string in the browser url or use a tool like firebug which is a add on for firefox. You will get error on your php page when you switch to the GET method on your html form. Don't worry about that your are just trying to see if the empressa variable is being sent via the http Post request.
Ok your variable dump should show this based on the code your provided
array
'name' => string 'Larry' (length=5)
'empresa' => string 'Lane' (length=4)
'email' => string 'ok#yahoo.com' (length=12)
'phone' => string '123' (length=3)
'comments' => string 'ok' (length=2)
So empresa is making it to the page just fine. I did notice that you do not have an opening form tag for your form? You should have something like this with the names of your file in place of the ones I used for testing of course.
<form name="testform" action="testingpostvariables.php" method="POST">
Place echo $message; after your line of code in your php file
$message = wordwrap( $received_body . $received_content . $received_reply, 100 );
$echo message;
When I did it empresa showed up.
Ok put this code in seperate php file and test it so we can figure out why "empresa" is not showing up. I would also trying refreshing your browser before testing this file to make sure there is no bad cached results.
<form method="post" action="contact.php" name="contactform" id="contactform">
<fieldset id="contact_form">
<label for="name">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Nombre *">

<label for="empresa">
<input type="text" name="empresa" id="empresa" placeholder="Empresa *">
</label>
<label for="email">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="E-Mail *">

<label for="phone">
<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" placeholder="Número de teléfono">

<p class="obligatorio"> * = Obligatorio</p>
<input type="submit" class="submit btn btn-default btn-black" id="submit" value="Enviar">

</form>

//$empressa is still working fine
$received_body = "$name te ha contactado desde www.company.com " . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$received_content = "\"$comments\"" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$received_reply = "Responder a $name $email o llamar al teléfono: $phone | Empresa: $empresa ";
$message = wordwrap( $received_body . $received_content . $received_reply, 100 );
echo $message;
$header = "From: $email" . PHP_EOL;
$header .= "Reply-To: $email" . PHP_EOL;
/*
if(mail($address, $received_subject, $message, $header)) {
// Email has sent successfully, echo a success page.
echo "<h2>E-Mail enviado con éxito</h2>";
echo "<p>Gracias <strong>$name</strong>, tu mensaje ha sido enviado.</p>";
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
}

This what my result looked like with the empresa value at the end(Lane is the empresa value I entered in the form).
POSTEDLarry te ha contactado desde www.company.com "This is a really long message ok lets see whats going on with this php code it is not sending the empresa variable" Responder a Larry mail#mail.com o llamar al teléfono: 12345678 | Empresa: Lane

Answer 2

Ok in your "custom.js" file you have the following line of code that could be causing some problems.
$.post(action, {
name: $('#name').val(),
empresa: $('#empresa').val(),
email: $('#email').val(),
phone: $('#phone').val(),
comments: $('#comments').val(), //remove this comma
There should not be a comma after the last property value try removing that to see if you get the value of empresa from the jquery code. Try it and let me know i

Answer 3

I've solved the issue, by changing the word empresa with something else.
I think there was some sort of collision using this word.
Thanks so much for your help!
