I'm working on making an email PHP that sends me an email whenever someone completes my survey. I have all of these variables defined in my code and every single one of them works correctly and shows up in my email except the $phone variable. In that row of my code, I get a blank line. Why would that be?
<?PHP

$name = $_POST['name'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$address2 = $_POST['address2'];
$fulladdress = $address . ", " . $address2;
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$city_state_zip = $city . ", " . $state . " " . $zipcode;
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$phone = "(" . substr($phone, 0, 3). ") " . substr($phone, 3, 3) . "-" . substr($phone,6,4);
$years_experience = $_POST['years_experience'];
$education_level = $_POST['education_level'];
$salary = $_POST['salary'];
$current_employer = $_POST['current_employer'];
$previous_employer1 = $_POST['previous_employer1'];
$previous_employer2 = $_POST['previous_employer2'];
if( empty($previous_employer2) AND empty($previous_employer1) ) {
$previous_employers = "None";
}
elseif(empty($previous_employer2)) {
$previous_employers = $previous_employer1;
}
else{
$previous_employers = $previous_employer1 . " and " . $previous_employer2;
}
$grad_year = $_POST['grad_year'];
$class_size = $_POST['class_size'];
$department_feedback = $_POST['department_feedback'];
$wishes = $_POST['wishes'];
/* $size = count($useful_classes);
$classes="";
foreach ($useful_classes as $key => $value){
$classes .= $value;
if($size > ($key + 1)){
$classes .= ", ";
}
}
$size2 = count($skills);
$skillsets="";
foreach ($skills as $key => $value){
$skillsets .= $value;
if($size2 > ($key + 1)){
$skillsets .= ", ";
}
} */
