hmmm, seems to me you forgot you named the variables ro something:

<?php

   $nameField = $_POST['name'];
   $emailField = $_POST['email'];
   $commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
   
   $body = <<<EOD



Name: $name

Email: $email

Comments: $comments

EOD;

?>

-----

i believe it should be:

<?php

   $nameField = $_POST['name'];
   $emailField = $_POST['email'];
   $commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
   
   $body = <<<EOD



Name: $nameField

Email: $emailField

Comments: $commentsField

EOD;

?>

I cant remember the name of the method of assigning your body variable. but i believe direct assignment with " Quote symbols is better practice - You can concatenate, use PHP code inside an assignment, and is usually a lot easier to read.

Hope this helps.

(if it doesn't use print_r($_POST); at the top of contact2.php to confirm values are transfering from the original form)
