PHP Mail Form Help

[TheSaint97]

Ok for the most part this script gets the job done. However, for some strange reason when I receive the email from them, instead of having their email address in the "From:" it has some weird address like: $email@p3nlh023.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net

 

Now in the body of the email it will list their correct address. Here is part of the script I'm using...

 

<?php

 

/* Subject and Email Variables */

 

$to = 'myemail@mydomainname.com';

$subject = 'Form Submission';

 

/* Data Variables */

 

$name = $_POST['name'];

$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$address = $_POST['address'];

$name = $_POST['name'];

$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$address = $_POST['address'];

$city = $_POST['city'];

$state = $_POST['state'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$type = $_POST['type'];

$reason = $_POST['reason'];

$value = $_POST['value'];

$owed = $_POST['owed'];

$repairs = $_POST['repairs'];

$agent = $_POST['agent'];

$offer = $_POST['offer'];

 

/* What Will Appear in Body of Email */

 

$body = <<<EOD

<br><hr><br>

Name = $name <br>

Phone = $phone <br>

Address = $address <br>

City = $city <br>

State = $state <br>

Email = $email <br>

Type = $type <br>

Reason = $reason <br>

Value = $value <br>

Owed = $owed <br>

Repairs = $repairs <br>

Agent = $agent <br>

Offer = $offer <br>

EOD;

 

/* To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set */

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

 

/* Additional headers */

$headers .= 'From: $email' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Cc: myalternateemail@whatever.com' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Bcc: myalternateemail@whatever.com' . "\r\n";

 

/* Mail it */

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

 

Also, once in awhile I will get an email where the body is completely empty. It will still list

 

Name =

Phone =

Address =

City =

State =

Email =

Type =

Reason =

Value =

Owed =

Repairs =

Agent =

Offer =

 

It just doesn't show the answer they gave. I'm a beginner so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You aren't checking if the form has even been posted or running any form validation, also your host might not allow you to send from emails that aren't registered with them.
