Email Notification on submitted form

[bjlolmaugh]

How do I configure the email to reflect my Name in the from column instead of the email address?
(see example)
I would like it to appear as shown on Line 2.

You can set the 'from name' in the properties of the form.

Where is the From field located?

I don't understand.
That is the FORM field, not the FROM field.

Did you try clicking the Advanced button? The From Name field is on the Auto Responder tab.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I tried that. That from field does not affect the admin's email of incoming mail.

[bjlolmaugh]

So ... I'm assuming by no help in this matter that there is no resolution to it?

Please click the 'More' button to set the 'from' name.

Yes, I have. The field is already set to $name, which matches the field of the applicant. That has no affect on how the form arrives to me. It still shows the email came from an email address instead of a name.


THIS IS THE EDIT BOX FIELD




THIS IS THE FORM PROPERTIES "MORE" SECTION"




THIS IS THE RESULTING EMAIL.
IT STILLSHOWS AN EMAIL ADDRESS INSTEAD OF A NAME.

$name is not valid, unless you have set the $name variable somewhere in the page yourself.

It either needs to be a fixed value, like

Code: Select all

Your Name

Or a variable like

Code: Select all

$_POST['name']

where 'name' is the name of the input field.

Thank you. That did the trick.
