Hi there,
This will probably take someone 2 seconds but I have made a form in DW MX which is a join out mailing list. It has name and email and I want the info emailed to the gmail account, but it only sent the gmail account an email from the email form and doesn't put the name anywhere. How can I make the code email the name section in the message? I'm totally new to php and don't undertand it at all, I'm surprised I got this far.
Thanks
Liz

<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

mail( "mintymeetsmunt@gmail.com", "Feedback Form Results - Mailing list",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.mintymeetsmunt.com/contact2.htm" );
?>

Tried this and it worked fine:

CODE

<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$subject = "Feedback Form Results - Mailing list";
$header = "From: ".$email;
$to = "mintymeetsmunt@gmail.com";
$message = "Message";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
header( "Location: http://www.mintymeetsmunt.com/contact2.htm" );
?>

This is a version (CLICK) of a contact form just like that you would like to make, but it is secured ... you will have just to change in the code the $email_admin from the script's beginning into yours ($email_admin = "mintymeetsmunt@gmail.com") .

P.S.: Don't scare about the Romanian language on the site. Just click on download. If you understand PHP, it will be easy for you to read through the code
