I have a problem with the PHP contact form I have created. When I enter information into the form and click submit the information is sent to an email address but there is no senders address attached to the email.
How do I create a seneders address so that when the user clicks sumbit it will send the email with thier email address as the sender.
The code for my form is shown below:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Email Form </title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="sendeail.php">
<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>
<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />

I am quite new to PHP and would appreciate all the help I can get with this.
Thanks in advance
You should do something like this:
The line beginning
$sanitizedEmailensures that a user cannot send spam messages from your form.
