hello all, so i have this contact form im working on for my website.. so far it works great but the format is coming out mis-aligned once i receive the email in my inbox..

Here is my code on my page.

Code:

<form method="post" action="contact.php"> 
<input size=25 name="First_Name">
<input size=25 name="Last_Name">
<input size=25 name="Email">
<input size=25 name="Order_Number">
<select name="sendto"> 
   <option value="general@mysite.com">General</option> 
   <option value="support@mysite.com">Support</option> 
   <option value="sales@mysite.com">Sales</option> 
</select>
<input size=25 name="Phone">
<textarea name="Message" rows=5 cols=35></textarea>
<input type=submit name="send" value="Submit">
 </form>

and here the code on my contact.php page which processes the info.

PHP Code:


			
<?php 
$to = $_REQUEST['sendto'] ;
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$first_name = $_REQUEST['First_Name'] ;
$headers = "From: $from"; 
$subject = "Website Contact Form";
$fields = array(); 
$fields{"First_Name"} = "First Name";
$fields{"Last_Name"} = "Last Name";
$fields{"Order_Number"} = "Order Number";
$fields{"Email"} = "Email"; 
$fields{"Phone"} = "Phone";
$fields{"Message"} = "Message"; 
$body = "Website Contact Form\n\n";
foreach($fields as $a => $b){     $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]);
} $headers2 = "From: noreply@YourDomain.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please call us at 1-888-888888)";
if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} else { if($first_name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";
} else { $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send) {header( "Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.html" );
} else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; } } } 
?>

Everything works great except that when i receive the email in my inbox this is how it shows up:

I'd appreciate any help i could get.

Thanks.

Try this way:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

$to = $_POST['sendto'] ;

$from = $_POST['Email'] ;

$first_name = $_POST['First_Name'] ;

$headers = "From: $from"; 

$subject = "Website Contact Form";



$body = "Website Contact Form\n\n";



$fields = array('First_Name', 'Last_Name', 'Email', 'Order_Number', 'Phone', 'Message');

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {

    if (in_array($key, $fields)) {

        $$key = $value;

    }

}

$body .=  'First Name: '. $fields['First_Name'].'\n';

$body .=  'Last Name: '. $fields['Last_Name'].'\n';

$body .=  'Email: '. $fields['Email'].'\n';

$body .=  'Order Number: '. $fields['Order_Number'].'\n';

$body .=  'Phone: '. $fields['Phone'].'\n';

$body .=  'Message: '. $fields['Message'];



$headers2 = "From: noreply@YourDomain.com";

$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";

$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please call us at 1-888-888888)";

if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} else { if($first_name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";

} else { $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);

if($send) {header( "Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.html" );

} else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; } } } 

?>

Using $_REQUEST is not recommended.
