How do I configure the email to reflect my Name in the from column instead of the email address?
(see example)
I would like it to appear as shown on Line 2.

You can set the 'from name' in the properties of the form.

Where is the From field located?

I don't understand.
That is the FORM field, not the FROM field.

Did you try clicking the Advanced button? The From Name field is on the Auto Responder tab.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I tried that. That from field does not affect the admin's email of incoming mail.

So ... I'm assuming by no help in this matter that there is no resolution to it?

Please click the 'More' button to set the 'from' name.

Yes, I have. The field is already set to $name, which matches the field of the applicant. That has no affect on how the form arrives to me. It still shows the email came from an email address instead of a name.


THIS IS THE EDIT BOX FIELD




THIS IS THE FORM PROPERTIES "MORE" SECTION"




THIS IS THE RESULTING EMAIL.
IT STILLSHOWS AN EMAIL ADDRESS INSTEAD OF A NAME.

$name is not valid, unless you have set the $name variable somewhere in the page yourself.

It either needs to be a fixed value, like Or a variable like where 'name' is the name of the input field.

It either needs to be a fixed value, like

Code: Select all

Your Name

Or a variable like

Code: Select all

$_POST['name']

where 'name' is the name of the input field.

Thank you. That did the trick.
