Posting Name In Email Form?

Hey,

I have this script I found and I am now using but the box where people enter their name seems pointless as I don't actually see their name in the email I receive.

<?php
if($_POST['do']=="send") {
$recipient="email"; // Set your email here //
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$formsend=mail("$recipient", "$subject", "$message", "From: $name ($email)\r\nReply-to:$email");
echo("<p>Your message was successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>

Code (markup):

How can I actually get the name of the person who tried to contact me?

 

Make sure the input field for the name has name="name" on it somewhere.

 

Well I don't really know much about PHP, I just copied the script, maye you could check the HTML code?

<form method="post" action="">
<p>Name:<br>
<input name="name" type="text" />
 </p>
<p>Email:<br>
<input name="email" type="text" />
 </p>
<p>Subject:<br>
<input name="subject" type="text" />
 </p>
<p>Message:<br>
<textarea name="message" rows="6"></textarea>
 <br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" /><input type="hidden" name="do" value="send" /><input type="reset" value="Reset" />
 </p></form>

Thanks for your help!

 

what i would suggest to do is the following

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: $name <$email>' . "\r\n";

mail("$recipient", "$subject", "$message", $headers)
