hi chris,
okay, you try to put your html-code into a string '$body', which will be
used by mail().
but, did you look at $body before sending? i'm afraid your vars are already
missing here?
maybe you have to change your code to this:
<?php
$body = '<html>
<body>
<table width="85%" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="50%">Applicant 1 Forename:</td>
<td>' . $App_1_Forename . '</td> ...';
?>
or this:
<?php
$body = "<html>
<body>
<table width=\"85%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\">
<tr>
<td width=\"50%\">Applicant 1 Forename:</td>
<td>$App_1_Forename</td> ...";
?>
look at the quotes. which style you want to use depends on you (i prefer the
1st)
ciao SVEN
