The problem is that the variables wont transfer from the first script (index.php) to the second script (mailer.php) so when I get the e-mails they have all the questions but are empty.

Not knowing exactly how your code is structured, you best bet is to probably save the data into session variables, and then call the session variables in your mailer.

Umm. The names of your $_REQUEST variables don't match the index names of the $fields array. Edit, also the syntax for the $fields array elements is incorrect so they probably don't exist anyway.
