I am currently creating a quote form for my company website, and wanted to make it a little more friendly than the usual "thank you everyone who fills out that form over there, and who I really don't care about..." I've tried two variations of the code and I've included the form code as well.
Thank you in advance
<form action="thankyouquote.php" method="post">

Thanks samarudge,
but if you open my attached files... you'll see that I'm already way past that point. What I'm having a problem with, is that the form returns an error, and it doesn't send the information... I'm hoping that I'm just missing something simple, because I've been over the coding several times.
