Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 25,644 PointsOrder Form in Wordpress (get Post-values)
I have a 3-column order form (name, price, number-input).
<?php the_field( 'name_des_weines' ); ?>
<?php the_field( 'preis' ); ?>
<input type="number" class="form-control col-md-2" maxlength="3" size="4" value="">
Question: how do I get the value of the number field and the name of the first filed so I can send it by email to the admin?
Thanks for your help!

They do have lessons here in the PHP section on how to pull information from a form and use PHPMailer to send an email. I believe Randy does this when building Mike's t-shirt shop. It's probably in the advance PHP lessons if memory serves me right.
The other option is to use a plugin that will allow you to do what you want to do. Gravity forms is a paid plugin, but I know it would allow you to do all of this, without having to write any code.
