Thanks for the additional verification code, that works great.

The problem I have is that the emails are being delivered to Spam folder in my hotmail account and not delivered at all to my gmail account.

I am assuming that it is because the email does not contain an originating email address

is there a way to adapt the php to send email using my domain as the originator, so I see that email comes from my domain, or to include the address of the person who completed form?

here is code as I have it now

$text = "";
foreach($_POST as $name => $value)
{
$text .= "$name : $value\n";
}

if ($text != "" && $_POST["verification"] == "human")
{
echo " Thank you for your enquiry, we will contact you soon

";
mail("myemail@myemail.com", "Website Enquiry", $text);
}
else
if ($text != "")
echo " Please enter the word human in the verification field,

Thanks ";

I tried and failed with following, which broke functionality

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['telephone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$formcontent=" From: $name \n Phone: $phone \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "myemail@myemail.com";
$subject = "website enquiry";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";

if ($verification = "human")
{
echo " Thank you for your enquiry, we will contact you soon

";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader);
}
else
if ($verification = "")
echo " Please enter the word human in the verification field,

Thanks ";

No, I think that problem is just gmail. They have an awful spam filter which does that. Better disable it, if that is possible.

The answer to problem was much simpler than I thought.

I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing similar problem

I added the following

From: myemail@myemail.com into mail section

$text = "";
foreach($_POST as $name => $value)
{
$text .= "$name : $value\n";
}

if ($text != "" && $_POST["verification"] == "human")
{
echo " Thank you for your enquiry, we will contact you soon

";
mail("myemail@myemail.com", "Website Enquiry", $text, From: myemail@myemail.com );
}
else
if ($text != "")
echo " Please enter the word human in the verification field,

Thanks ";

This then allowed me to add exception in hotmail to stop it from hitting junk, also delivered to gmail account.
