[RESOLVED] php html form

[mladams]

Hi

I have a small problem with this...

I cant get the $name to show up on the email.

Can anyone see the error.

The HTML

<form action='test_process_form.php' method='POST'>
  <fieldset> <b><legend>Contact 
  The Owner</legend></b><br>
  <label for='name'>Name:</label> 
  <input type='text' name='name' size="30">
  <br/>
  <label for='email'>Email:</label> 
  <input type='text' name='email' size="30">
  <br/>
  <label for='subject'></label> 
  <input type='text' name='subject' size="70" value="{$listing_title} # {$listing_number}">
  <br/>
  <label for='message'><br>
  Your Message:<br>
  Please include the dates you are interested in.<br>
  </label> 
  <textarea name='message' rows="10" cols="40">I am intersted in "{$listing_title}" {$listing_number}
</textarea>
  <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Send'>
  </fieldset> </font> 
</form>

The PHP test_process_form.php

<?PHP
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$target_address = '[e-mail]';
$headers = "From: ".$email."\r\n". "X-Mailer: php";
if (mail($target_address, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo ("Your message has been sent, the owner will contact you as soon as possible");
}
else{
echo ("Sorry your message delivery failed. Please hit the back button, make sure all fields are complete and try again");
die();
}
?>

Thanks in advance

You have to add POSTname to your message.

You have only added POSTmesage to $message

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$message = 'My name is: ' . $name . "\n"; //do newline
// .= ..add more to $message
$message .= '...... And my message is: ' . "\n"; //do newline
$message .=  $_POST['message'];
