Thanks for any help.

Try giving the $body variable a value before the while loop, it may be giving you trouble because you're appending the variable (with ".=") before giving it any value.

Worth a shot.

Not sure what your problem is, but I think using foreach() would be a better solution. Try:

<?
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value)
{
    $foo .= sprintf('%s = %s\n',$key,$value);
}
echo $foo
?>

How would that change things?

Nothing except for with robp's method the newline would not have show up due to the single quotes in the printf() statement. You are sure the form is getting posted? Are you just hitting the enter key or actually clicking on the submit button.

if ($name) {
while(list($key,$val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$body .= $key ." = ". $var ."\n";
}
mail("myemail", "form submission", $body);
}


That way if the submit button is not getting clicked the script will still recognize that it has been submitted.

I've tried both hitting enter and clicking the submit button. Both times the same result:
name =
e-mail =
comments =
submit =

I don't know why I didn't notice it earlier but you use $val in the while statement and then $var in the $body .= statement they must be the same thus your code should look like this:
while(list($key,$val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$body .= $key ." = ". $val ."\n";
}
