Seems lots of contact form problems lately here. Unfortunately I can’t seem to figure this one out. Seems simple enough.

I have a very long form. In order to keep things to the point, I’ll only post the code for the first few:

```php

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

        $to = "my@email.com";
        $subject = "Test";
        
        $name = $_POST['Name'];
        $company = $_POST['Company'];
        $address = $_POST['Address'];
        $contact = $_POST['Contact'];
        $telephone = $_POST['Telephone'];
        
        $body =  
        "Name: $name

        Company: $company

        Address: $address

        Contact: $contact

        Telephone: $telephone";

        mail($to, $subject, $body);

    } else {

        echo "Oops.";
?>

```

Now, it’s only sending the first three fields: Name, Company and Address. Contact and Telephone are included, but the are blank. Looks like this:

Name: (name)  
Company: (company)  
Address: (address)  
Contact:  
Telephone:

Why only the first three items?

probably cause your html is wrong …

how is it echoing the name if you have $name set to the post but you’re using $your\_name in the echo?

That would be because I am a giant idiot and forgot to change it in the post. It’s working fine in the actual PHP. I’ll edit my original post. And post up my html in a couple of minutes.

Nah, $\_POST is based off the name attribute. The only thing I can think is that you submitted it with out those two fields populated 😛 :lol:
