Hi, I am having problems with my forms emailing the inputted content into my emails. It sends all of the rest of my html such as line breaks and everything that is actually in my php code. But it doesn't pull anything from the form. I have double and triple checked, and everything is spelled correctly and everything...anyway here is the php for the mail function.

<?php

/* Subject and Email Variables */

	$emailSubject = 'Bid Request';
	$webMaster = 'calexteriors@sbcglobal.net';
	
/* Gathering Data Variables */

	$firstField = $_POST['first'];
	$lastField = $_POST['last'];
	$addressField = $_POST['address'];
	$cityField = $_POST['city'];
	$zipcodeField = $_POST['zipcode'];
	$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
	$faxField = $_POST['fax'];
	$emailField = $_POST['email'];
	$typeField = $_POST['type'];
	$timeField = $_POST['time'];
	$descriptionField = $_POST['description'];
	
	$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
First Name: $first <br>
Last Name: $last <br>
Address: $address <br>

Email: $email <br>
Job Type: $type <br>
Time Frame: $time <br>
Job Description: $description <br>
EOD;

	$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
	$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
	
/* Results rendered as HTML */

	$theResults = <<<EOD

echo "$theResults";

		
?>

And here is my html for the form.

well i have not reviewed all your code but wat stood out was first bit in php.

when you set $firstField = $_POST;
this should not be
First Name: $first
it should be
First Name: $firstField

$firstField = $_POST['first'];
	$lastField = $_POST['last'];
	$addressField = $_POST['address'];
	$cityField = $_POST['city'];
	$zipcodeField = $_POST['zipcode'];
	$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
	$faxField = $_POST['fax'];
	$emailField = $_POST['email'];
	$typeField = $_POST['type'];
	$timeField = $_POST['time'];
	$descriptionField = $_POST['description'];
	
	$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
First Name: $firstField <br>
Last Name: $lastField <br>
Address: $addressField <br>
City: $cityField <br>
Zip Code: $zipcodeField <br>
Phone Number: $phoneField <br>
Fax Number: $faxField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Job Type: $typeField <br>
Time Frame: $timeField <br>
Job Description: $descriptionField <br>
EOD;

That worked like a charm! Thank you SOOO much, you saved me from a CONTINUOUS headache!
