</table>
<?

echo " $name "

now i do know that all the variables are not accounted for, but this is only a test to try to get at least one variables to go through in the email.

Well, the e-mail comes so it's something with the vars. It looks ok to me but the $message."\nFrom :". part looks a bit weird to me. You have no var called $message so that might be the problem. Try putting


$message = ""; before the mail action, for example under the part where you declare vars.

If that doesn't do it, try declaring the $message var entirely before using mail() instead of adding some text to it in the mail action. That would be something like:


$message = "From : all the other stuff here"

and then use mail(stuffgoeshere, $message);

I don't think so, it doesn't write anything to a textfile ... It's most likely something with the $message var ... I have a working mail script, I can give it to ya if you'd want it and you can modify it to your needs.
