Contact form

Post by Biju »

I have created a contact form with block and hosted with GoDaddy server. The form is working fine and receiving the form data as shown in the image below.

Can anybody clarify the following:
Why it shows sender email (see point #1) instead of sender name?
and why it shows that text right side to email (see point #2)

Please help...

1) You can set the 'From name' in the properties of the form.
2) This is not added by Web Builder. But it may have been added by the server (which send the email)

Which mail Engine are you using. I've always found php mailer the best. ("Advanced", "Mail Engine")
Have you filled in the form data under "More" by "E-mail address" and given yourself a meaningful message under "Message" so the email makes sense when you receive it.

If you want you use the one of the input fields as 'from' address then you can use, something like this:

Code: Select all

$_POST['name']
Note that this is also documented in the help.
