well for a start I suggest spaces... makes a code easier to understand
$subject = "Need Help";
I am not sure if that actually affects the variable... anyway
mail($Email_To, $Email_Subject, $Email_Message,
"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n"
."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n")
OR DIE( "Unable to send email" );
Thats an example of mail(); lifted from one of my scripts. As you can see,
the additional headers (Such as who the email is from) have to be writen as
"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n". In your case, something like
$Email_From = "\"From: ".trim($sender)."\r\n\"";
should give you "From: $sender" as is needed.
As for using variables in the message... I suggest putting the variables
'outside' the message body.
EG: $Message = "Hello, this is my variable".$variable."\n\nIts nice";
I can't think of a good way to explain this... so think of ".$variable." as
a way of making php parse $variable. It can also be used with functions, so
is quite handy to know
Oh well, I tried. Sorry its not a bit clearer
