I’ve bene struggling with this for 2 days!

I’ve got a form with 5 radio buttons and two text forms. My submit button has this as:

> on (release) {  
> form.loadVariables(“email.php”, “POST”);  
> }

and my email.php code is this:

```php
<?php
$sendTo = "nycbmc@gmail.com";
$subject = "Lifetime Achievement Voting";

$vote = "I voted for: " .$_POST["vote"]; 
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "
";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $vote, $headers);
?>

```

The radio buttons belong to group called “vote”

Everything works, except I get this messsage in the email that’s generated:

> I voted for: [object Object]

I think the problem is with the radio button AS, like maybe I need in include a “get value” function, but I’m not sure. I’ve tried many different versions, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas? Please? Thanks!

You obviously used the radio button object, most objects contain a bunch of useless code I myself am working on a contact page much like yours and my send button wouldn’t work until I changed it to standard text convert into a symbol.
