Ok so I'm trying to make this form but its not working, I know it has something to do with the $body var. And when it does sent it doesn't show a sender e-mail or subject.

 

<?
include 'other/db_connect.php';

$lostusername = $_POST['username'];
$lostemail = $_POST['email'];


if ($_POST['submit'] && empty($_POST['email'])){
$error = "You either didn't enter an email or password. You must enter both for security reasons.";
}
	if ($_POST['submit'] && empty($_POST['username'])){
$error = "You either didn't enter an email or password. You must enter both for security reasons.";
}													 

if($_POST['username'] && $_POST['email']){


$lostpassword = mysql_query("SELECT `password` FROM `user` WHERE  `username` = '$lostusername' || 'email' = '$lostemail' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());

$num = mysql_num_rows( $lostpassword );
$lostpassword2 = mysql_fetch_object( $lostpassword );

if ( $num == '0' ){
	$error = "Sorry but we could not find a match for the info you have entered.";
}

elseif ( $num == '1' ){
	$error = "Your password has been sent!";
	$Name = "Racing-Generation";
$email = "NoReply@racing-generation.com"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = $lostemail ; //recipient
$mail_body = "Hello $lostusername, we understand it that you have lost your password. well dont worry about it. Here is your password below.

Password: $lostpassword2 

Thanks, 
Racing-Generation


Please DO NOT reply to this. This e-mail address is not attended to. We have other e-mails for you to contact us. "; //mail body
$subject = "Your Password"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields

ini_set('sendmail_from', 'me@domain.com'); 

mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header); //mail command 
}

echo"$error";
									  }

									?>
