reply to header

[buddhapi]

Can someone assist with this, the form works, but the end user cannot simply click on reply, they have to copy/paste. I think it is just a header issue, but i'm not sure and the person who wrote this script is no longer availalble...any help would be much appreciated!

 

 

<?php
if ($_POST['post'] != '')
{
$to = 'fetch@domain.com';
$subject = 'Appointment Request';
$message = "A user on the website has submitted an appointment request. Find their details below.\n\n";
$reqd = array('name', 'email', 'phone', 'phonetype1', 'petname');
$disregard = array('post', 'Appointment_Mail_');
$breaks = array('break', 'break2', 'break3');
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
	if (in_array($key, $reqd) && $value == '')
	{
		$error .= '- Fill out '.$key.'<br />';
	}
	elseif (!in_array($key, $disregard))
	{
		if (in_array($key, $breaks))
		{
			$message .= "\n";
		}
		else
		{
			$message .= ucwords($key).": ".stripslashes($_POST[$key])."\n";
		}
	}
}
if ($error == '')
{
	mail('fetch@domain.com', $subject, $message, 'From: domain.com <noreply@domain.com>');
	header('Location: http://www.domain.com/thanks.html');
	die();
}
else
{
	$error = 'Please correct the following errors:<br />'.$error;
}
}
?>

The "From" address is specified as noreply@domain.com.  If you want them to be able to reply then that should be the address you want them to reply to.

 

Edit: Or, you can use a reply-to header.  There is an example here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Thanx for the fast reply, perhaps I wasn't clear enough, the end user ( recipient) wants to be able to hit reply and have it reply to the email address that was entered into the form from the visitor, so in essence the address will always be different . I have read the header documentation about 377 times now, and it's still not sinking into my thick head.

Ok, how about this:

 

mail('fetch@domain.com', $subject, $message, "From: domain.com <noreply@domain.com>\r\nReply-To: {$_POST['email']}");

 

Then someone clicking "Reply" after receiving this email should have the reply sent to the email address entered in the form.. is that what you are looking for?
