I have a form that that has hundreds of text fields for a Ski Rental Reservation site.

When the results are emailed they are hard for the customer to read. I have no idea on how to format the results using a email template any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi crazyjd525,

You can do this with an html table

<table>
<tr><td>{name1}</td> . . .<td>{gender1}</td><td>{type1}</td>. . .</tr>
<tr><td>{name2}</td> . . .<td>{gender2}</td><td>{type2}</td>. . .</tr>
. . .
</table>

But this is a lot ot typing and prone to errors.

Personally I would set up the form to store the data in an array by using field names like name='m[1][gender]' 'm[1][type]', m[2][gender], etc. You can then use PHP 'foreach' loops to cycle through the array and put the results into a table format in the template.

Hi crazyjd525,

if you have v3.0 stable and emptied your email template box then you should get a template auto generated.

This sounds like it would be great but if you have time could you explain in laymen terms for a complete non programmer? haha

Or is there a tutorial you could point me towards?

Thanks Guys!
