Simple Mail Form & Handler Problem

[macmonkey]

My Form: contact.php

<form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="20"><br />
Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="30"><br />
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="30" maxlength="30"><br />
Text:<textarea name="text" name="text" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>

My Handler: sendmail.php

<?php
@extract($_POST);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$email = stripslashes($email);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$text = stripslashes($text);
mail('[e-mail]',$subject,$text,"From: $name <$email>") or die('couldn\'t send email');
header("location:thankyou.php");
?>

For some reason this simple script just isn't working for me. Does anyone see any reason for this?

Thanks

changing
"From: $name <$email>"
to
"From: \"$name\" <$email>"

is all i can think of. have you had mail send successfully from the server before? try a basic mail call like
mail('[e-mail]', 'subject', 'message');
and see if it goes through.

will do.. thanks for the ideas.

Also, why are you doing stripslashes() to every variable? I don't even see a call to addslashes(). Or if you have magic_quotes on, turn them off if you're not utilizing them.

If you still want to strip them, a loop might be more effecient:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
     $$key = stripslashes($value);
}
