Hi,
I'm creating my first php mail script from a form I created, and so far so good. I am able to get the form results emailed to me, but I can't make it send a response to the form submitter. Do I have it setup wrong? The first mail line (form submit) is working, just the second one (autorespond) is not...?! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Here's my code: (links are just example links)

<?php

  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
  $phone= $_REQUEST ['phone'];
  $address= $_REQUEST ['address'];
  $fax= $_REQUEST ['fax'];
  $email= $_REQUEST ['email'];

$message = \"Name: $name\n\n\";
$message .= \"Phone: $phone\n\n\";
$message .= \"Address: $address\n\n\";
$message .= \"Fax: $fax\n\n\";
$message .= \"Email: $email\n\n\";

$reply = \"My auto respond message, thank you, blah blah.\";

if (!isset($_REQUEST['name'])) 
    header( \"Location: http://www.mysite.com/test/orderform.html\" );
  
elseif (empty($name) || empty($phone) || empty($email)) {
    header( \"Location: http://www.mysite.com/error.html\" );
}
  
else {
    mail( \"info@mysite.com\", \"Submitted Order Form\", $message, \"From: $email\" );
	mail( \"$email\", \"Order Confirmation\", $reply, \"From: MySite\" );
    header( \"Location: http://www.mysite.com/thankyou.html\" );
}
	
?>

Makeshift

I don't thin that the $email should be in quotations.

mail( $email, \"Order Confirmation\", $reply, \"From: MySite\" );

Try this.

Argeaux

Also this looks weird:


$_REQUEST ['email'];

maybe you need to remove the spaces in the request like this:


$_REQUEST['email'];
