Hi Murray, Try doing something like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------- $body = "From: $name Email: $email IP Address: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] Feedback: $feedback "; $fromaddr = "$email Reply-To: $email X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion(); mail("planetthoughtful@xxxxxxxxx", "Feedback", $body, $fromaddr); ------------------------------------------------------------------- I haven't tested this 'actual' piece of code, but I've used similar in other emailing scripts.
