Hey Okay I am just learning PHP, so I may be wrong. I see in your html form you have $global_company_name; in one of the form elements but I do not see that in the php script any were Also where is the {$name} in your php script as I do not see it. I see $fromname = $_POST['fromname']; but that's about it Are you getting any errors, Notice, etc. please let me know. Last edited by PHPNerdz; 02-10-2011 at 01:38 AM.

Ahhh it gets $global_company_name from the config.php file thats included at the top of the page. (You cant see that bit on the code I posted) The user would put {$e_name} if they wanted to see the clients name in the textarea called 'message' I am getting no errors but when I put {$e_name} in the body text of the email the email sends to me but it has $e_name not the client's name...

Yes But how can you use a php variable in a form. I think I am not understanding your script, what is it that you want it to do in full.

it is just because you are not passing your variables correctly

I have fixed it now just by adding the following code... eval("\$message = \"$message\";"); =) Thanks for your help guys Dan
