problem with php mail() function (too many parms)

[DMcN]

Hi, please can someone help with a PHP error.

I am trying to get a form on my website up and running with a PHP script. I've tested a PHP file on the server (and checked with my host) and all is OK.

When I upload my script and form I get the error message below, does anyone know what I might me doing to cause this.

I did comment out the bottom section because I don't think I actually need them, I was getting the error before doing that anyway. I've also replaced website/e-mail addresses.

P.S. this is my first time using PHP.

Thanks in advance.



Error message:
Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 6 given in /vhost/vhost4/m/o/n/myaddress.co.uk/www/iopost.php on line 22
response=passed


PHP Script:

<?php
//create short variable names
$fullName=$_POST['fullName'];
$fullAddress=$_POST['fullAddress'];
$postcode=$_POST['postcode'];
$telNumber=$_POST['telNumber'];
$emailAddress=$_POST['emailAddress'];
$fullName =trim($fullName);
$fullAddress =trim($fullAddress);
$postcode=StripSlashes($postcode);
$telNumber =StripSlashes($telNumber);
$emailAddress =StripSlashes($emailAddress);
 
//modify the next line with your own email address
$toaddress='[e-mail]';
 
mail($fullName,$fullAddress,$postcode,$telNumber,$emailAddress,"From: $fullName <$emailAddress >");
 
//clear the variables
//$fullName='';
//$fullAddress='';
//$postcode='';
//$telNumber='';
//$emailAddress='';
//echo "response=passed";
 
?>

The format of the MAIL() command is

mail ( string $to, string $subject, string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters]] ).

You have too many parms, like the postal code or a telephone number are never specified as a mail() parameter.

Thanks for the speedy reply Ronald.

Does this mean if I delete the code:

$postcode,$telNumber,$  emailAddress,
 

I will lose that particular info from my form or does it get picked up from the top section, or should I format it in another way.

Thanks again.
