Howdy!

I need help in knowing how to get information from a form. I have it 
set to input the "subject" into the email, who the "recipient" email 
should be, but I can't find where to have the form enter the address 
or name of the submitter of the form in the email. When it arrives, it 
just says "unknown" in the from field.

I would think that I could have a field in the form that asks for the 
senders email address and then reference that filed name in a 
hidden input type with value="(the name of the field)". I just don't 
know the name="?" part to enter to have the form insert the 
information into the email.

such as:

<input type="hidden" name="(don't know?)" value="(the form field 
name?)">   

where (don't know?) is what tells the form what it is doing, and (the 
form field name?) is the info pulled from the form field that has the 
persons email address associated with it.

(using Matt's formmail.pl as the cgi script if that helps!)


Thanks.....Jim H
