[SOLVED] Syntax Help..

[freaksilver]

Hi,

New to php and this forum. I am having a hell of a time simply editing an existing php form mail script to display my own fields.

The form emails to me with all of the text portions intact, ex. "From:" but the field information doesn't come through at all.

 

I created my own .html file with the form inset - it's possible that this is where the problem occurs. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I've been banging my head against a wall for a few hours now.

 

the php:

<?php

//Define some variables

$youremail="****@****.ca"; // This is the address that the information submitted will be sent to.

$emailsubject="Contact form info!"; // This will the email's subject

// The From field will be be where this email came from.
// Note on the from field. the text after the first " mark, until the < is what appears in "From" in your email program.
// So, you can put anything alpha numeric here. That would be any letters A-Z and a-z, as well as 0-9
$from_who="My Site's Contact Form <[email protected]>";

$pagetitle="Thank You!"; // Title to be displayed on the sent info page.

// Enter the code that you want to appear before the information submitted.
// Make sure you put a / mark before all double quotation marks or the script won't work.
