通过电子邮件发送HTML表单提交时包含标签值

Question

I've created a dynamic HTML form that uses jQuery and customizes the form fields and labels based on the users' input.

In addition to passing the form field values to the $_POST[] array, is there also a simple way to pass the label values? I need to turn the form submission into an email, and the email should include the same label names that appeared on the form. I've contemplated using hidden input fields, but that doesn't seem like an ideal option.

Any ideas?

There is no use in sending those label texts around. It is unnecessary traffic, and one more thing that needs to be filtered/validated.

You create the form on the server side, so you already have access to the texts of the labels there. I'd advise you to store these texts in constants, like:

define('TEXT_EMAIL', 'Email Address');

So when you create the form, you can just type:

<label for="email"><?=TEXT_EMAIL?></label>

and use the same constant (TEXT_EMAIL and the others) when you build the email body. This way, you will also be in an easy situation if you need to add support for other languages.
