Email text from dropdown list instead of value?

Hi all

Due to character limitations, I need to name the values for my drop down options as 101, 102 etc. When I receive the form in my email, it shows these values. Is there a way to get it to send the text that these values represent?

Cheers
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

In the OnSubmit Before Email code box you can add a little PHP to look up the values.

<?php
$v_array = array(
  '101' => '7 inch pliers', 
  '102' => 'Wire cutters', 
  . . .
);
$tool = JRequest::getString('tool', 0, 'post');
$tool_name = $v_array[$tool];
JRequest::setVar('tool_name', $tool_name);
?>

Then use {tool_name} in the Email template.
