I've created a tellafriend form for a CMS. I need some hidden fields in the form so that I can pass homepage address, link to logo, and the web admin email address. However, the value of the hidden fields is not passed to my mail file. You could also try the form on my website http://www.zoosh.me/tellafriend.php Is there a bug in php or something is wrong with my files? I would really appreciate your help guys.
Thanks, Ovi
