Ok, so I've got a form to work thanks to the help of this community, and I've noticed a few minor problems...

 

First off, I noticed that if a person doesn't fill in all the forms, it will fail to submit.

Why is that?

 

And finally, I have a comment text area, and if it exceeds a certain amount of characters, it will give you a success screen even though the email is never really sent.

Is there a reason why?

And if so, is it due to the script or the client?

 

EDIT:

 

Disregard; \n is an amazing thing.

But how do I allow my script to omit fields if they enter nothing in there?

As in, instead of failing to process if they leave a field blank, to go ahead and process anyways?

 

Here's the script:

<?php 
if ($_POST["email"]<>'') { 
$ToEmail  = '**********@hotmail.com' . ', ';
$ToEmail .= '******@gmail.com'; 
$EmailSubject = 'Site contact form '; 
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY = "\nFirst Name: ".$_POST["name"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nLast Name: ".$_POST["name2"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nAffilliation/Convention: ".$_POST["name3"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nHome Phone Number: ".$_POST["name4"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nCell Phone Number: ".$_POST["name5"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nWork Phone Number: ".$_POST["name6"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nDates for Rental: ".$_POST["name7"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nType of Equipment: ".$_POST["FieldData"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nEmail Address: ".$_POST["email"]."<br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "\nAdditional Comments: ".nl2br($_POST["comment"])."<br>"; 
mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure. Again!"); 
?> 
<b>Your message was sent to one of our representatives, and will be reviewed. We look forward to contacting you in the near future, thank you.</b>
<?php 
} else { 
?> 
<form action="contact_us_test.php" method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">

<td width="29%" class="bodytext">First name:</td>
