Im a designer and no coder, especially PHP.  Im trying to setup a simple contact form but keep getting a "no address in header" error.

The page in question is [url=http://www.outlawdesign.com/new-design]here.[/url]

The PHP:

Code: Select all

<font face=verdana size=2>
<?php

$email_msg_to = "davedbrosche@gmail.com";
$email_msg_from = "davedbrosche@gmail.com";


/*
All these other feilds values $user_name, $email_message, $email_subject, $email_address
are retrived from email_form.htm that we have created earlier!
*/

$message = "Comments/Suggestions \n\nName: ". $user_name ."\nEmail: ". $email_address ."\n\nMessage: ". $email_message;
mail($email_address, "Msg From: " . $user_name ." Comments/Suggestions", $message, "From: ". $email_from);

echo "Thanks for your comments/suggestions <B>". $user_name . "</B> we have recieved your message and will contact you soon.";
?>
The From html:

Code: Select all

		
<form method=post action="/new-design/email_form.php">
<Table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 class=small_txt>
 
<TR><TD width=150><font class=small_txt><B>Your Name: </B></font></TD>
<TD><input type=text class=small_txt name=user_name size=50></TD></TR>

<TR><TD width=150><font class=small_txt><B>Your Email address: </B></font></TD>
<TD><input type=text class=small_txt name=email_address size=50></TD></TR>


<TR><TD width=150><font class=small_txt><B>Your Message: </B></font></TD>
<TD><TEXTAREA rows=5 cols=49 name=email_message class=small_txt></TEXTAREA></TD></TR>
</Table>
<P></P>
<input type=submit value="Submit Info" class=small_txt>
</form></font></center>
		</div>

Try to use

Code: Select all

$_POST['var_name']
for the variables you receive from the form
