Placeholders not working

I’m using formit on a site and it’s been working fine for me, but yesterday one of the people I’m working with on the project submitted a contact form and some of the placeholders came through without being replaced by the strings from the fields.

I can’t reproduce this error myself, so I’m hoping someone has experienced something similar and knows a solution.

Thanks

Here’s the content from the report email that came through when she submitted the form
(Copy/pasted, so the formatting has been removed)

Report from the Sonny’s website contact form:
Customer’s Name: A** H********
Email Address: a******@*******.com
Store Visited: [[+addressString]]
Date of Visit: [[+date]]
Time of Visit: [[+time]]
Address: 6*** P******** L***
City: O******
State/Province: fl
Zip: 32***
Phone: 407*******
Eclub: √
[[+text]]

Here’s my code

I’ve created an issue. Let me give some more information that will hopefully help.

The person who sent the failed message was using Windows XP & Internet Explorer (I can’t see why that would matter, I tested in XP/IE6 and it worked.)

The fields are set as required, so she couldn’t have left them blank.

also, I have a few snippets referenced, here is the code for those
(if anyone has suggestions to improve my PHP, I’m learning and would gladly accept them)

StoreOptions

<?php
$path = MODX_CORE_PATH . 'components/storeaddresses/';
$result = $modx->addPackage('storeaddresses',$path . 'model/','modx_');
if (! $result) {
  return '<p>Error: Menu package failed to load.</p>';
} else {
  $output = '';
}

//$ri = $modx->resourceIdentifier;

$items = $modx->getCollection('Address');
//$items = $modx->getCollection('Address', array(docid => $ri));

$sortArray = array();

if($items != null){
  
  foreach($items as $item)
  {
    foreach($item as $key=>&$value)
    {
      if(!isset($sortArray[$key]))
      {
        $sortArray[$key] = array();
      }
      $sortArray[$key][] = $value;
    }
  }
}
else{
  $output .= '<p>Error: Menu item data failed to load.</p>';
}



$orderby = 'city';


array_multisort($sortArray[$orderby],SORT_ASC,$items);

$sortArray = null;
$sortArray = array();

if($items != null){
  
  foreach($items as $item)
  {
    foreach($item as $key=>&$value)
    {
      if(!isset($sortArray[$key]))
      {
        $sortArray[$key] = array();
      }
      $sortArray[$key][] = $value;
    }
  }
}
else{
  $output .= '<p>Error: .</p>';
}

$orderby = 'state';


array_multisort($sortArray[$orderby],SORT_ASC,$items);



  foreach($items as $item) {
  
    $output .= '<option value="'.$item->get('dealerId') .'">';
    $output .= $item->get('state') .' - ';
  $output .= $item->get('city') .' - ';
  $output .= $item->get('street') .'</option>';
  }  



return $output;

emailSelector

<?php
$path = MODX_CORE_PATH . 'components/storeaddresses/';
$result = $modx->addPackage('storeaddresses',$path . 'model/','modx_');
if (! $result) {
  return '<p>Error: Menu package failed to load.</p>';
} else {
  $output = '';
}

$userChoice = $hook->getValue('location');
$did = intval($userChoice);

//$items = $modx->getCollection('Address');
$items = $modx->getCollection('Address', array(dealerId => $did));

if($items != null)
{
  foreach($items as $item) {
  $output .= $item->get('contactAddresses');
  }  
}
else
{
  $output = 'corporate@**********.com';
}

$hook->setValue('emailAddresses', $output);
return true;

employmentAddressSelector

<?php
$path = MODX_CORE_PATH . 'components/storeaddresses/';
$result = $modx->addPackage('storeaddresses',$path . 'model/','modx_');
if (! $result) {
  return '<p>Error: store address package failed to load.</p>';
} else {
  $output = '';
}

//$ri = $modx->resourceIdentifier;
$userChoice = $hook->getValue('location');
$did = intval($userChoice);

//$items = $modx->getCollection('Address');
$items = $modx->getCollection('Address', array(dealerId => $did));

if($items != null)
{
  foreach($items as $item) {
  $output .= $item->get('street');
  $output .= ' - ';
  $output .= $item->get('city');
  $output .= ', ';
  $output .= $item->get('state');
}  
}

}

return true;
