On our web site's Product Detail pages I have added an "Ask an Expert" button. See, for example
Clicking this button pops up a simple email form (see code below). One line in this form looks like this "Preferred Contact Method: o Email o Phone," where the two "o"s are radio buttons. The idea is that the value of the radio button would be passed to the email that is sent to our Customer Service so we would know whether the customer wants to receive our advice via email or via phone. The form is working (the emails come through, along with all the customer-inserted information), and we have made some sales through this mechanism. However, the value of the radio buttons is not being passed to the emails. I have inserted the tpl code and the related php code below.
Any help that anyone can provide to help me get the values of the radio buttons passed to the emails would be most appreciated.
Code:
