Hi Mike,

You're very close to getting this right.

In formmail.php, you have:

$TARGET_EMAIL = array(EMAIL_NAME."^mail*&*mike-hobbs\.co.uk$");


This needs to be a real email address, not the mangled one. Also, the "^" at the beginning is only used if you're not matching other names (i.e. you need to remove the EMAIL_NAME component).

The following should work for you:

$TARGET_EMAIL = array("^mail@mike-hobbs\.co\.uk$");


OR


$TARGET_EMAIL = array(EMAIL_NAME."@mike-hobbs\.co\.uk$");

Try that and let me know how you progress.

Hey thanks for that now it works a treat.
I have a few more questions

can you run more than one form from this just by editing the form ?

if I edit the forms name do I need to edit anything with the php or is it all sorted unless I change server

thanks

Great!

Yes, you can use the one formmail.php installation with as many forms as you like.

By setting the $TARGET_EMAIL values correctly, each form can send to a different set of recipients.

Except for the special fields in the form (recipients, subject, email, realname) and the configuration values in formmail.php ($TARGET_EMAIL, $AT_MANGLE, etc.), the forms and formmail.php are completely independent.

So, yes, you can change whatever you want in the form, including it's name.
