The first script refers to the second as follows:


<form ACTION="formresult.php" METHOD="POST">


Do in the second script:
echo $_REQUEST['machineid'];
to make sure that you are receiving the form variable.


This shows blank, as it does in the email. It seems as though nothing
is being passed - the value echoes fine in the first script.


This next piece is directly from php documentation. It may or may not help
you...

<?php
$to = 'nob...@xxxxxxxxxxx';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmas...@xxxxxxxxxxx' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmas...@xxxxxxxxxxx' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>


Thanks - I have the mail function itself working fine, but need to
find out how to correctly pass that variable from the first page.
