small problem with contact.php

[funlog]

Hi there, my first post in your fine forum, thanks for having me 

 

I set up a web page based on a template that included a contact form. The actual emailing of the form works great, but the email of the sender will always have their name and then cgi13.cgi13 after (example funlog@cgi13.cgi13). This means I don't have their proper address and cannot reply to them. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks in advance!

 

<?
// Get the variables from the form post
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = "From: $name\r\n";

// If there was no Subject submitted, set a default one here
if (!$subject) { $subject = "Message from Website"; }

// Check fields, if they're there, send the email; if not, display error page.
if ($name && $email && $message) {

// Put your email address in place of "email@business.com"
mail("email@business.com", $subject, $message, $from);

// Thank You Page
header("Location: ../contact-thankyou.html");
exit;

} else {

// Error Page
header("Location: ../contact-error.html");
exit;

}
?>

When you are sending the email you should have it send you the email address that was filled out. so in the $from field it should be there email address.
