I'm currently using
$emailProject = @$_REQUEST['project']; which returns a number as the value. How can I do something like: $emailProject = @$_REQUEST['project:label'];Tim (toledoh.com.au)

We'd have to pull it out of the database somehow. Are you loading any records on the same page? And where is the project num/name stored? In another table or in a list of values in the field editor?

I've got the following in a form;
<?php $fieldname = 'project'; ?>
<?php $idCounter = 0;
$selectedProjects = explode("\t", trim($CURRENT_USER['project'], "\t"));
?>
<?php foreach (getListOptions('accounts', $fieldname) as $value => $label): ?>
<?php if (!in_array($value, $selectedProjects)) { continue; } ?>
<?php $idP = "$fieldname." . ++$idCounter; ?>
<input type="radio" name="<?php echo $fieldname ?>" id="<?php echo $idP ?>"
value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($value) ?>" <?php checkedIf(@$_REQUEST[$fieldname], $value) ?> />
<label for="<?php echo $idP ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($label) ?></label><br/>
<?php endforeach ?>when the form is updated an email is generated, and I want to identify in the email, what project (and other data) has been selected...

You can use getListOptions() to get an array of all of the value/label combinations and then use the $_REQUEST['project'] value to get the label you want. For example:
<?php
$listOptions = getListOptions('accounts', 'project');
$emailProject = "";
if (@$_REQUEST['project']) {
$emailProject = $listOptions[@$_REQUEST['project']];
}
?>Hope this helps

That's still returning the value, not the label.
"project" is a list with value=num and label=title.
So when I use this $_REQUEST['project'] I get the "num" but I want to display the "title"...

Instead of referencing $_REQUEST['project'] directly, you should be able to get the label by using the code above and referencing:
$listOptions[@$_REQUEST['project']];Hope this helps

My mistake, I still had "$emailProject = @$_REQUEST['project'];" later in the code, left over from me trying to get it to work.
You'r version works great! Thanks
