No, I am new to this form!
I have successfully set up a contact form page. It emails me the 'email address' and 'message' from the form fields, but does not send the name filed value, it is just blank.
I cannot see where I have gone wrong. All the field names match up to the PHP file. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Here is my code:
<form id="form_28" name="website_query" action="mailform2.php" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" target="_self" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="margin:0;position:absolute;left:231px;top:242px;width:343px;height:229px; /*MainDivStyle*/" __AddCode="here">
