PHP Self Processing Form

Hi
I'm tring to adapt a form processing script that appears in the book "PHP Web Development with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004" published by Apress. The example in the book has a simple form containing a "comments" field and a "email" and "confirm your email" fields. The script works fine but the form I need has a few more fields. ie. "name" and "telephone". How can I alter the attached script so that the contents of these extra fields are sent along with the rest of the email?

Thanks for your help!

After

if (isset($_POST['comments']) && !empty($_POST['comments'])) {
$message=strip_tags($_POST['comments']);
}
else {
$nomessage = 'You have not entered any comments';
}

And using the same syntax as above add:

if (isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name'])) {
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Name: " . strip_tags($_POST['name']);
}

if (isset($_POST['telephone']) && !empty($_POST['telephone'])) {
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Telephone: " . strip_tags($_POST['telephone']);
}

\n is the newline character for emails
