Mail Function & Multiple form fields

[SJG]

I'm having some problems with a php mail form where I am wanting to
send information from 10 form fields in a e-mail. the way I have it
structured for the mail command is

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

where message is made up from the multiple fields from the form e.g

$message = "Name: ".$strName."\r\n";
"Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";

The e-mail is sent fine but it only gives me the persons name and not
the extra fields.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks

"Name:" and "Company :" should be placed in the $additional_headers
parameter.

mail($to, $subject, $message, $additional_headers);

This line doesn't do anything!
I think maybe you want:

$message .= "Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";

You're not addind data to the $message variable.

you should use the point operator to concatenate the two together:

$message = "Name: ".$strName."\r\n" . "Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";

Feel free to use my contact form generator at:

http://www.rent-a-tutor.com/tools/

to build an online form online. The PHP source will be sent to you via
e-mail, so make sure you enter a valid mail address.

After you received the code, you can check the source and find out how
I have done it :-)

Marian

The semicolons at the end of each line terminate the line of code, so you
have a line of code that says $message = "Name: ".$strName."\r\n"; and
another which is the rather mysterious "Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";
(though I would expect you to be getting an error message for that line).

As others have suggested, you can use
$message = "Name: ".$strName."\r\n"."Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";

or,

$message = "Name: ".$strName."\r\n";
$message .= "Company: ".$strCompany."\r\n";

or you could use

$message = "Name: $strName\r\n
Company: $strCompany\r\n";

Hope that helps,
