Hey room,

I created a contact form that have user inputs for name, comments, and a telephone inputs with three boxes for

the area code, prefix, and the suffix.

when i receive the email after the user hits the submit button I would like to see the open and closed parenthesis for the area code and the - to separate the prefix and suffix.

ig. (770) 343-3432

Here is the code that I wrote

```php

$meessge .= 'Telephone: (' . $phone_areacode . ') ' . $phone_prefix . '-' . $phone_suffix .'
';

```

I don’t get any errors but how come i only receive the name and comments from the user? Please help. Thanks.

cause you’re not posting the telephone fields … need to see the rest of your php and your html. only need to see the html that relates to the phone fields
