Hello I have attached a contact form to my site. When I fill in all the info (name/company/email/message) and send the form I check my email to make sure it all went through ok it always fails to include the name. Why is this? This is the script I'm using, is there something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

<?php

$your_name = $_GET['Your Name'];
$your_company = $_GET['company'];
$your_email = $_GET['email'];
$your_message = $_GET['message'];

$recipient_email = "lisa76497@aol.com";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';

$content = "<html><head><title>Contact letter</title></head><body><br>";
$content .= "Name: <b>" . $your_name . "</b><br>";
$content .= "Company: <b>" . $your_company . "</b><br>";
$content .= "E-mail: <b>" . $your_email . "</b><br><hr><br>";
$content .= $your_message;
$content .= "<br></body></html>";

mail($recipient_email,$subject,$content,$headers);
?>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<div align="center" style="margin-top:60px;color:#0000ff;font-size:11px;font-family:Tahoma;font-weight:bold">
Your message was sent. Thank you.
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script>resizeTo(300, 300)</script>

Where are you getting your_name from? If you are trying to pass it by url and using $_GET to retrieve it that space in 'Your Name' is going to throw it off.

Also, it doesn't look like you've included the from address in your headers, you may want to add 'From: your@email.com'

Thank you for replying so quickly!!!!!

So instead of this --> $your_name = $_GET['Your Name'];
it should be --> $your name = $_GET['Your Name'];
or should it be --> $your_name = $GET['yourname'];

I would advise against using get for emailing, as a spamming could very easily, knock up a script to spammer you. he could have a spam email sent to you continuously and crash you .

Lol he could also do it with post but not as easily

You need to check that the variable name 'Your Name' in the URL is correct as it is this variable that holds the name value that you need.

Also your $subject variable is empty.
