the sendmail3.php

 

 

<?

 

$email = $_POST['email'] ;

$message = $_POST['message'] ;

$name = $_POST['name'] ;

 

mail( "nickb53@tiscali.co.uk", "Contact Request", $message, "From: $email" );

print "Congratulations your email has been sent";

?>

Where do you want to put $name?

[nickb_53]

either before or after the Message

Ive tried

mail( "nickb53@tiscali.co.uk", "Contact Request", $message, $name, "From: $email" );

 

this causes the email adress to come trough as server adress, not the sender

is my code incorrect?

[ILYAS415]

which one comes out incorrectly? the $email one or the nickb53 one?

[nickb_53]

the name and message are correct in the recieved email

but the email adress comes though AS

From: root@server05.unITYguy.neT and not the email I added,

if I remove the $name then I get the correct email?

thanks

[BlueSkyIS]

because mail() only takes 4 parameters. name is not one of them.

 

mail( "nickb53@tiscali.co.uk", "Contact Request", $message, "From: $email" );

 

[nickb_53]

how can I include the name?

so In the email I get a name, and message,

and the correct email addresss !

[ILYAS415]

try replacing your sendmail2.php with...

<?php
$to = "nickb53@tiscali.co.uk";
$subject = "Contact Request";
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email= $_POST['email'];
$headers = 'From: $email' . "\r\n"; //<-- not sure if this one is completely right

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

hopefully that'll fix ur problem

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

  mail( "nickb53@tiscali.co.uk", "Contact Request",
    $message, "From: $email" );
  echo "Thank you!";
