    I am having the same problem. Did you get this sorted? I think it has something to do with the setting up of the SMPT client or POP client, but i don’t have a clue how to do this.

    @phaedon thank you so much for fixing that mistake! Many people were wondering why the email was in blank. Here the solution from phaedon:
    “The Email: $email line (and subsequent lines) should read Email: $emailField “

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is anything you need to do so that people can leave comments in Chinese. The message seems to get scrambled. Is there something else I need to do so that it will be coded properly?
    Thanks!

    lol you got the varibles wring the first time round. You called each “retrieval” thing with the word “header” at the end, but when using them you missed this out.

    Good vid though…

    However you should have included the setting up of the SMPT client or POP client that actually does the sending, because without this, the email script will be useless.

    How would you make the Confirmation page appear in a new window instead of taking people away from my site? Like you would do with a “Open in new window” behavior.
