Hi,

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this form:

<form action="/cgi/formmail" method = "POST">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="xxxx@xxxxxxx.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Website Inquiry">
<input type="text" name="realname" style="background:#EFE39C; color:#1030A5; font-family:verdana; font-size:11px;" size="22" maxlength="40" name="name">
<input type="text" style="background:#EFE39C; color:#1030A5; font-family:verdana; font-size:11px;" size="22" maxlength="40" name="e-mail">
<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="24" style="background:#EFE39C; color:#1030A5; font-family:verdana; font-size:11px;" name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

It works, but it does not show the name of the sender in the e-mail body, just the e-mail address and the comments.

The sender's name shows up in the "From" field in the e-mail header, thus the "realname" part.

<input type="text" name="realname" style="background:#EFE39C; color:#1030A5; font-family:verdana; font-size:11px;" size="22" maxlength="40" name="name">

It has two name attributes. See if that fixes your issue.

I removed the name="name" attribute but it doesn't make any difference. The name still does not show in the e-mail.

I was told that the "name" and "realname" attributes cannot be used in the same form. The formmail handler couldn't handle that.

Is that correct? Or is there a script that can do that> I'm currently using the NMS script.

Thanks

Personally I have used 'realname' and it worked fine. But, best way is to find out by trying another attribute name and see if that works.

I am using "realname" and it works fine. But that's not the problem!

I am trying to use "realname" and "name" at the same form.

Realname gives me the name of the sender in my e-mail header but not in the e-mail body!

Name does it exactly the other way around. I want to combine both!

copy this and save as contactus.htm

<form method="POST" action="mailer.php">
<table width="500" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td width="71"><p>Name: <br>
</p></td>
<td width="412"><input type="text" name="name" size="39"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-Mail: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" size="39"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Message:<br>
<br>
</td>
<td><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="10" wrap="OFF"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br>
</td>
<td>
<input name="check[]22" type="checkbox" value="newsletter" checked>
Sign up for our Email Newsletter</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp; </td>
<td><input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "youremailaddress";
$subject = "Subject Name";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) {
$check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n";
}

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message\n $check_msg";

echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
