PHP mail: Email field won't print
Question
This is the first time I'm using PHP's mail function and have it working nicely except that I can't seem to get the user's email address to print to the submission form data that is emailed back to the form recipient.
Currently, when I get the form data, it looks like so (as you can see, the email field is empty):
Here's my form code:
<form id="contact" action="process.php" method="post" role="form">
<!---snip to save space and show relevant code--->
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="form-control input-lg" tabindex="3">
My process.php code:
<?php
$recipient = "johndoe@aol.com";
$subject = "FORM SUBMISSION";
$firstName = $_POST['firstName'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastName'];
$replyTo = $_POST['email'];
$sender = "From: $replyTo\r\n";
$message = $_POST['message'];
$whyContact = $_POST['whyContact'];
$sender = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$sender = "Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\n";
$msgBody = "
<html>
<head>
<title>title here</title>

<style type='text/css'>
body{width:100% !important; -webkit-text-size-adjust:100%; -ms-text-size-adjust:100%; margin:0; padding:0;}

mail($recipient, $subject, $msgBody, $sender);

You are overriding $sender with each assignment which means your From and MIME-Version headers are being dropped. Try Something like:
$sender = "From: $replyTo\r\n";
$sender .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$sender .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\n";

I figured it out. I forgot to add the "." to the two $sender variables in my example. Thanks!
