$name=$_POST["name"]; $email=$_POST["email"]; $details=$_POST["details"];

echo "<pre>"; //to see the code on the preview the page not go through see via view page source $email_body=""; $email_body.=" Name " .$name ."\n"; $email_body.=" Email " .$email ."\n>"; $email_body.= " Details " .$details ."\n";

echo $email_body; echo "<pre>"; //To Do:Send email

header("location:suggest.php?status=thanks");

} $pageTitle = "Suggest a Media Item"; $section = "suggest";

include("inc/header.php"); ?> <div class="section page"> <div class="wrapper"> <h1>Suggest a Media Item</h1> <?php if(isset($_GET["status"]) && ($_GET["status"]=="thanks")){

          echo "<p>Thanks for the email! I'll check out your suggestion shortly!</p>";

      } else {?>

     <p>If you think there is something I'm missing,let me know!
       Complete the form to send me an email.</p>
      <form method="post" action="suggest.php">
         <table>
           <tr>
              <th> <label for="name">Name</label></th>
