hi, i made a simple contact form that doesnt post all the data in my email. any help greatly apprectiated. the part that doesnt show up is "phone" also, the receipt page echo is just echoing "your message has been sent to...etc" and its not echoing the $subject or $body.thank you. derek EDIT-nevermind, i got "phone" to work, but the $subject and $body still does not echo. (also, someone just told me that a hacker could change my code or variables. is there something i can do to stop this?)

here is the html for the form.

awesome thank you rogem002! the form works perfectly now except that the

mail($to, $subject, $body); dont echo to the screen, it stops at the $to variable.

Does mail($to,...,...) send the email ?
If yes what is not working

?

**silverglade** · 03-15-2009, 12:40 AM

oh,.i thought mail() told it to echo the contents of the variable. but i guess i might be wrong. heh. not sure. maybe i will just type a manual echo message. derek
