pho form processing not working

[Guest]

Hi,
I had to alter my perfectly working php script coz easyspace decided to implement some spam controls.. they told me to insert a -f argument which I did, but now my form doesn't work. If anyone's got any ideas please help!!!

Either the instructions provided by easyspace were badly written, or you
didn't implement them correctly. The antispam measures used by an -f
argument are intended to ensure that the email comes from an authorized
source, so you cannot use the value entered in the email field of an
online form. It *must* be your email address. Moreover, it must be the
fifth argument to mail(). You have used it as the third argument.
Moreover, you have omitted the $subject argument to mail.

Change thisL

> if(mail($to, $body, '-f'.$sender))

to this:

if (mail($to, 'Message from online form', $body, null,
'-flouisa@cdteam.co.uk'))
