Try giving each of your values a variable...

value="" should be value="$RealName"

I am having the same problem. Anybody know what it needs? Perhaps the cgi-bin folder?

Thx for any help you can give.

BTW apply.php is in the main directory and index.php and style.css is in a folder called Recruitment, in the modules section.

I'm still receiving the email just no infor with it.

hi, it's better to use $_POST to get your form fields. Try this in apply.php

Code:

$Name = "".$_POST['FirstName']."\n";

or place the $_POST in a variable first like

Code:

$FirstName = $_POST['FirstName'];

then place that variable in your form like

Code:

$Name = "$FirstName\n";
