[cproctor]

Hello I am totally new to PHP, but I thought the following code would work for my form. It is executing the code to send the email even though I thought it was only to process if the reason is a "transfer". Could someone please help me? My site is www.dcyoungmarines.com and here's the PHP code I'm executing.Thank you! ChrisHere's my select statement in the form: <td><select name="reason"> <option>Recruit Interest List</option> <option>Young Marine Transfer</option> <option>Volunteer Interest</option> <option>Contact Me</option> </select></td>Here's the PHP code: <?php // Grab the form vars $childname = (isset($_POST['childname'])) ? $_POST['childname'] : '' ; $age = (isset($_POST['age'])) ? $_POST['age'] : '' ; $###### = (isset($_POST['######'])) ? $_POST['######'] : '' ; $parentname = (isset($_POST['parentname'])) ? $_POST['parentname'] : '' ; $email = (isset($_POST['email'])) ? $_POST['email'] : '' ; $hphone = (isset($_POST['hphone'])) ? $_POST['hphone'] : '' ; $cphone = (isset($_POST['cphone'])) ? $_POST['cphone'] : '' ; $reason = (isset($_POST['reason'])) ? $_POST['reason'] : '' ; $comments = (isset($_POST['comments'])) ? $_POST['comments'] : '' ; // send email to dcyoungmarines mail("dcyoungmarines@q.com","Interest Form Submission", "Child Name: $childname\n Age: $age\n ######: $######\n\n Parent/Guardian Name(s): $parentname\n Email Address: $email\n Home Phone: $hphone\n Cell Phone: $cphone\n Interest Reason: $reason\n\n Comments:\n $comments");// send a transfer request to user if requested if ($reason = "Young Marine Transfer") { $to = "$parentname<$email>"; $subject = "Young Marine Transfer Request"; $msg = "Dear " . $parentname . "\n\n" . "You have requested information regarding your Young Marine's possible " . "transfer to the Douglas County Young Marines. On our forms page you will find " .
