I purchased a pre-built flash web site which I host at Godaddy. Unfortunately I have no coding experience, and both the creator of the site and Godaddy offer no help. I have a "contact us" form located in the site, which, ideally, sends and e-mail to me when a client fills in the fields of the form. I get the e-mail just fine, HOWEVER, the clients e-mail address, which is listed in the "e-mail" field, does not show up in the e-mail. Furthermore, the e-mail is usually stating the sender as the clients name@p3slh234.shr.phx3.secureserver.net (which is obviously not the clients e-mail address. I will list the PHP code...maybe someone can tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks in advance and sorry for such a novice question. Here the the PHP text:

<?
$name=$_POST['t1_2'];
$mail=$_POST['t2_2'];
$comm=$_POST['t3_2'];
$ToEmail = "thelloyds@soulreflectionsphoto.com";
$ToSubject = "MESSAGE FROM YOUR SITE";
$EmailBody = "Full Name: $name\n

Your message (include e-mail address): $comm\n";
$Message = $EmailBody;

$headers .= "Content-type: text; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From:".$name." / ".$email."\r\n";
mail($ToEmail,$ToSubject,$Message, $headers);
?>

Would have to see the form that does the post to know for sure but as a wild shot I would guess that $email needs to be changed to $mail on the next to the last line.

I expect that this is the server's address as it is the server that sends you the email (not the client). If the above post doesn't work then please show us the HTML for the form

Yeah, the second header line should most likely be

$headers .= "From: $name <$mail>\r\n";

I tried chaning the "email" to "mail" on the 2nd line...got the same problem result. I also tried changing the entire line as suggested, and the e-mail would not send at all. What I've posted was the text form of the PHP file...what else would you guys need to see Thanks a million for you help.

It might be your choice of hosts. GD is know for the wierd factor.

If you want to put the form and the send into a zipfile I will test it on a cPanel server and see what the results are there.

My confusion also lies in that the form is located in an entire flash site. Other than the PHP file, can I view and edit the form itself (besides in editing the symbol in Adobe flash). Also, I just discovered, while looking at it in Adobe, the e-mail field DOES NOT have var: listed, as the other 2 fields do (1_2 and 3_2 respectively). A tutorial I briefly looked at stated that each should have a var (assuming variable). In any case, I will gladly send you the file, but it would be the entire site unless you could tell me how to send only the form. thanks again.

I've also discovered something in my tireless attempt to figure this crap out. My PHP file HAS the e-mail variable listed as 2_2...(which is not listed within the flash movie). However, when I change the variable in adobe flash, and attempt to export it to the folder with the index file...I get an error. I ALSO get an error when exporting the flash movie just as it came, without editing.....
