Email error - PHP

[arobix]

My client tells me that when he tests this code, he is asked to supply his email address when he has already entered it. When I test it, it goes through. It used to work and now it doesn't.

Here is the code for the form (Apply_Online.php):

<table width="750" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="Form_Labels">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="Send_Email.php">
              <table width="575" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#000000">
                <tr>
                  <td><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#E4E4E4">
                    <tr>
                      <td width="40%" bgcolor="#D0EAD3">Name</td>
                      <td width="60%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="40" /></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td bgcolor="#D0EAD3">Email Address </td>
                      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="40" /></td>
                    </tr>

I cannot see:

$email = $_POST['email']

or anywhere that you declare $email as a variable therefore it is always false

[arobix]

I wondered if that would do it, but I wasn't positive. I'll try it.

It works. Thanks.
