I have an application form on my page. Everything is working correctly except for the query string. I want to take a url with a variable, and pass it into the contact form email. Ex. http://www.example.net?merchantid=12345
I want the merchant id variable name and value to display on the email I receive, along with the rest of the user information. The way it sits now breaks my page. It would be great to send a CC email without this merchant id as well.
Here is my markup:
<form id="shortApplication" action="{site_url}application#contact-sent" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" data-type="advanced">
<input type="hidden" value="true" name="emailSent" id="emailSent">
<input type="hidden" name="XID" value="{XID_HASH}" />
<input type="hidden" name="merchantid" value='<?php echo $merchantid; ?>' />

Here is my PHP:

include("php/php-mailer/class.phpmailer.php");
// Step 1 - Enter your email address below.
$to = 'info@novawebdev.com';
$arrResult = array('response'=>'');
if(isset($_POST['emailSent'])) {
$subject = 'RTO Camera Application';
// Step 2 - If you don't want a "captcha" verification, remove that IF.
if (strtolower($_POST["captcha"]) == strtolower($_SESSION['captcha']['code'])) {
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$business_name = $_POST['business_name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$merchantid = $_GET['merchantid'];
// $emailConfirm = $_POST['emailConfirm'];
// Step 3 - Configure the fields list that you want to receive on the email.
$fields = array(
0 => array(
'text' => 'First Name',
'val' => $_POST['first_name']
),
1 => array(
'text' => 'Last Name',
'val' => $_POST['last_name']
),
2 => array(
'text' => 'Business Name',
'val' => $_POST['business_name']
),
3 => array(
'text' => 'Phone Number',
'val' => $_POST['phone']
),
4 => array(
'text' => 'Email',
'val' => $_POST['email']
),
5 => array(
'text' => 'Merchant ID',
'val' => $_POST['merchantid']
)
);
$message = "";
foreach($fields as $field) {
$message .= $field['text'].": " . htmlspecialchars($field['val'], ENT_QUOTES) . "<br>
";
}
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP();
// Step 4 - If you don't receive the email, try to configure the parameters below:
//$mail->Host = 'mail.yourserver.com'; // Specify main and backup server
//$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
//$mail->Username = 'username'; // SMTP username
//$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
//$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->FromName = $_POST['first_name'].' '.$_POST['last_name'];
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->AddReplyTo($email, $first_name, $last_name);
$mail->AddCC($email);
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
if($mail->Send()) {
$arrResult['response'] = 'success';
} else {
$arrResult['response'] = 'error';
}
} else {
$arrResult['response'] = 'captchaError';
}
}
?>
I've been researching this for a few hours, and this is how far I've come. I've never worked with PHP outside a basic copy paste for a contact form.
Thanks!
