What's the problem? If you want to know how to set the 'from' address, check the mail reference, it's there in example 2:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.phpAlso, you can shorten $errorString = $errorString . "..." to just $errorString .= "..."You also aren't validating the email address other then just testing if it is empty. If you want to use a regular expression to check whether or not the address is a valid format for an email address (i.e. xxx@xxx.xxx or xxx.xxx.xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx or whatever) then do a Google search for "PHP email address validation with regular expression".Otherwise, if you're getting some error message or something is happening that you aren't expecting, you need to say what it is.
