Quick php question regarding contact form

[buggedout]

Hi all

 

I am new with PHP and this simple thing has been driving me nuts. I finally got my contact form to work successfully thanks to tutorials around the internet.

 

But I don't know what code to use so that I may view the name entered in the name field on the form, or have the email displayed how I would like it.

 

Right now when I get the email, the from address is the email the person types in. OK. The message shows up just as an ordinary message without anything else... that works, but what I would like is for the email to arrive in this format:

 

Name: (name)

 

Email: (email address)

 

Message: (message)

 

right now only the message shows up in the email body. I would like to see everything in the email body. the name doesn't show up anywhere.

 

I have tried a few different things but then I get error 500 when I submit the form. I know I am missing something simple.

 

I have attached the code I am using. Wasn't able to copy and paste.

 

Please help!

If you post your code perhaps we can help you.

I added it as an attachment, as I indicated in my post.

 

for some reason I am unable to paste it in here.

Well, some of us don't look at other sites.

 

Can't imagine why you can't post code here.

<?php
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( "admin@yoursite.com", "Feedback Form Results",
    $message, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/thankyou.html" );
?>

Look at some mail examples from php.net

 

Posting the code from your form could also help.

Is there a reason why you can't open the attachment? I'm not asking you to go to another site.

 

When I paste, nothing happens. I even tried the paste button. Seems to be some type of bug with the forum software.

Thanks I'll take a look.

 

Here is the form code (attached). Sorry, it won't let me paste.

You'd have to do something like this:

<?php

$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

$body = sprintf(
    "Name: %s\n\nEmail: %s\n\nMessage: %s",
    $name,
    $email,
    $message
);

mail( "admin@yoursite.com", "Feedback Form Results",
$body, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/thankyou.html" );
