Define 'name' please. 

 

And please use code tags for your postings

[micah1701]

The code does not post the senders name into the message body of the e-mail.

 

The line:

$message = stripslashes(strip_tags(trim($_POST['message'])));

sets the variable "$message" with the "Message" form field that has been sent from the form

 

Then, the line that sends the emal is:

if (mail($your_email, $subject, $message, $from)) {

notice it just passes that "$message" variable along.  No where in there is the persons name ever attached to the message.
