Need Help with PHP Script

This message was posted in a PHP newsgroup that has low activity, and
I'm running out of time!

I am trying to use Jack's FormMail script
(http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail). Since I'm brand new at PHP
and not very good at HTML, I have an easy question, which I will narrow
down. When the email arrives, it has this information:

v_firstname: asdf
v_lastname: asdf
b_email: asdf@bellsouth.net
v_phone: asdf
v_cellphone: asdf
v_address: fdsa
v_city: fdsa
v_zip: 23432
v_interested: join
v_volunteer: on
Submit: Submit

The data is collected by an HTML file called volunteer.htm and is passed
to formmail.php. The only place that "v_firstname" appears in
volunteer.htm is here:

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">First name&nbsp;<input
type="text" name="v_firstname" maxlength="15">

v_firstname does not appear anywhere in formmail.php. I suspect that it
is passed through to the PHP script or the script somehow prints the
name attribute.

So, the question is, what do I need to edit to get rid of "v_firstname:"
in the email?

Thanks!

formmail.php is here:

I would suspect that just deleting the whole "first name" field (or
commenting it out) would do the trick. Send a test submission afterwards
to see if it shows.

Your script does not deal with input fields individually - it simply
collects all input fields into an array, and then (simplifying), puts the
array into the outbound message. To remove any input field from the
resulting message, remove the input field from the original form. "<input
....." indicates an input field in the form, as in
'<input type="text" name="v_firstname"...'. So, delete or comment out any
input field in the form that you don't want in the resulting email message.
