Re: PHP Variable Declare

Thanks!! That worked perfectly. Neat little function there to check if a variable exists. Also I am set to "E_ERROR & ~E_NOTICE" already. The form loads correctly and then when you click submit goes to the thank you screen. The only problem now is that it says that my variables don't exist that I pass using the form and as a result, won't email them. When it gets to the code to email the results the variables like $_POST['name'] won't exist. What puzzles me is that the frmAction is passed, but none of the textbox...etc. variables are. Do I need to add in the form name somewhere to show where the variables are coming from?
