foreach($values as $key => $value){
if(in_array($value,$required)){
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'Please fill in all required fields, marked with *'; exit; }

$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
}
}
if(#mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
echo 'Thanks for your message, will contact you soon.';
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
}
}

Answer 1

$values = array ('name','email','message');
Add 'company' to this list in the PHP script.
Also, I would modify the foreach loop to look like this, to get the intended functionality:
foreach($values as $key => $value)
{
if(in_array($value,$required))
{
if(empty($_POST[$value]))
{
echo 'Please fill in all required fields, marked with *';
exit;
}
}
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
}
This way, fields that aren't in the $required array are still added to the email if they exist - they just don't have to pass the empty check.

Answer 2

The problem is this line:
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
Is never reached unless this line:
if (in_array($value,$required)) {
... is satisfied. This means, only fields listed in $required are going to be appended to the email. If that is OK, then simply change these lines:
$required = array('name','email','message');
$values = array ('name','email','message');
To read:
$required = array ('name','email','message','company');
$values = array ('name','email','message','company');
If that is NOT ok, change this:
foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
if (in_array($value,$required)) {
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
if (empty($_POST[$value])) {
echo 'Please fill in all required fields, marked with *';
exit;
}
}
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
}
}
To look like this:
foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
if (in_array($value,$required)) {
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
if (empty($_POST[$value])) {
echo 'Please fill in all required fields, marked with *';
exit;
}
}
}
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
}
Then you can take company out of $required, but leave it in $values. I suspect the template worked fine when you started because all fields were required.
If it still does not work, please change this (up top):
if(!$_POST) exit;
To look like this:
if(!$_POST) exit;
print_r($_POST);
... and paste the additional output in your question.
Also, consider buying templates from another vendor :)
