Mail() only supports 5 fields 1

[CTCINY]

So I am pretty new to web design in general. I created a PHP script to send an email from an HTML form. When I have 3 items it works fine. But I need to put about 8 or 9 fields, and I get a message that the Mail function has a maximum 5 fields. How else can I write the script so that I can send all my fields? Like I said Im still a noob so be gentle. Thanks

Show us your code.

...message that the Mail function has a maximum 5 fields

The mail function takes a maximum of 5 parameters some of them being optional. This has nothing to do with how many fields you send in the email at all.

The body of the message which would contain any and all fields you wish to send is the third parameter: a.k.a message.

You would need to build your message body so it contains all your fields in that parameter, something like this for example:

$message = "username is" . $_POST['usernamefield'] ."\r\n";
$message .= "otherfield is " . $_POST['otherfield'] . "\r\n|;
...

That worked perfectly. Now I need to label and format the email. Any suggestions or help?

You can use basic HTML to format the email. Check the link I provided above for an example. Under HTML Email.
