Sending form emails back to senders

Hi all,

I have had a request to send a copy of peoples enquiries back to their own email addresses through their online feedback form.

I don't know php and have been using a free form for several years for simple email forms.

I am stumped as to how to go about doing this.

This is the free form I use:

This is the html I use to use this form:

<form method="post" action="nvform.php"><input name="subject" value="Circle Design Feedback Form" type="hidden">
<input name="success_page" value="http://www.circle.co.nz/success.html" type="hidden"><input name="required" value="sender,email,phone" type="hidden">
<p><strong>Your name:</strong> *<br />
<input name="sender" size="40" maxlength="100" type="text"><br /><br />
<strong>Your e-mail address:</strong> *<br />
<input name="email" size="40" maxlength="100" type="text"><br /><br />........
......
<input name="submit" value="Send E-mail" type="submit">
<input name="reset" value="Reset the form" type="reset">

All my form does is send the email to me, not back to the sender. Can someone please help me so I can send back to senders? Does anyone know what I am trying to ask here? and can anyone please help?

Do you want an exact copy of the email sent to you to be send back to them? If you do, then you can just add this code: under: That will send a copy of the email, the exact email, that you get, to the email address that the user submitted into the form.

Just tested it and it works great, thanks very much Joe
