Author Variable email address

Hi...

I would like to capture an email address from a form and send a copy
of the mail to that user. Can anyone give the correct code?

Below is the script I am using.

Thanks for your help.

<?php
/
$sendTo = "peter@deahipprovider.co.uk";
$subject = "New Enquiry";



$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstname"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] .
"<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];

$message = $_POST["message"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
$sendTo = ["email"];

?>

Your $sendTo isn't really variable, it's set to a static email
address. You might want to change that to

$sendTo = $_POST['email']

before you issue the "mail" command.
