inserting custom fields in php email script

[pillsburycodeboy]

i got a php script from a website. it works great, however i would like to add a few custom text fields to the email. im pretty new with php, and ive tried a few different things, including following the method used for the other fields in the script, and also to concatenate the different text fields into one variable, both to no avail. would someone be able to point me in the right direction of how to do this? i need to add 3 fields..'Type of Business:' 'Revenue Size of Business:' and 'Financial Goals:'

 

here's the php script

 

mind you, i have tried emailing the developer and got no answer. im trying really hard to learn how to do this, and ive been struggling with this for a week. id appreciate any help given

Do you know any PHP?

 

P.S: You'd be better off writing your own script after learning PHP.  That script isn't too great.  The developer used....short tags *cringe*.
