    You are showing no action for your select tag. So no action is taken. Either the <select> is by itself and you call a javascript function or it's in a form and the form determines the action.

        Did you read the pages I sent you? If you did you should know what I mean. Your select tag needs to have an action assigned to it. Yours don't so no action taken.

            These two blocks have different names for your select. Which is it, Interested or Interestedin? The PHP code suggests it should be named Interested.
            PHP Code:
            header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm');

                Post all of your HTML and PHP code. Also make sure they are placed in php or code tags.

                    The only error in my test indicates that you have an undefined variable called email_from.

                    I otherwise receive the populated option in my output text as expected. Of course, if you choose nothing and leave it as the default option, then it will come empty.

                    Also, as mentioned more than once, ensure all your code is wrapped in [php][/php] or [code][/code] tags.

                        I don't understand what you are referring to.
                        PHP Code:
                        header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm'); 
                        Been gone for a few months, and haven't programmed in that long of a time. Meh, I'll wing it ;)

                            You can do whatever you want with it. All I'm saying is you are using a variable that doesn't exist; I don't know what you want to go into that Reply-To address.
                            Code tags go around the entirety of the code.
                            PHP Code:
                            header('HTTP/1.1 420 Enhance Your Calm');

                              [ php ]
