I'm not sure you should be seeing that message. You could try commenting out the send and seeing if the problem remains, which would indicate that the fault is with your code. The email send isn't fundamental to the sticky forms pattern, which is more about submitting to self, performing validation.

if there is an actual problem, you might want to put some source code at the forum.

<?php if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){ $name = $_POST["name"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $details = $_POST["details"];

echo "<pre>"; $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="process.php"> <table> <tr> <th><label for="name">Name</label></th> <td><input type="text" id="name" name="name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th><label for="email">Email</label></th> <td><input type="text" id="email" name="email" /></td> </tr> <tr> <th><label for="name">Suggest Item Details</label></th> <td><textarea name="details" id="details"></textarea></td> </tr> </table> <input type="submit" value="Send" /> </form> <?php } ?> </div> </div>

<?php include("inc/footer.php"); ?>

do you have access to the markdown cheatsheet on that comment. You should be able to put the code into a code view, so people can read it more easily.
