Hi everyone, Well, after much debugging, turns out it was the "isset" command that was causing all the problems. By simply removing that, everything started working properly.
Thanks to everyone for their input!

The form on your page is using the post method, so chances are, you need to reference your variables by the global post array, ie $_POST['custemail'] $_POST['request_type'] etc. Instead of $custemail and $request_type. If the form is using the get method (or any time variables are being passed in the URL), you'll want to use the global get array, ie $_GET['some_variable'] $_GET['anoter_variable'] Then there's the global request array which will get all types passed to the page, ie. $_REQUEST['some_variable'] You may want to take a look here for a better explanation of variables and scope... http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Julie Williams wrote: > Hi John, > > The variables are coming from a form, located at: > > http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html > > I don't know what version of PHP or if the global variables are on or off. > I would have to ask the client who their provider is and contact them.
