<?
//email variable declaration
$message = ' '; //first we make sure the message string doesn't hold any
junk
$email_hunger = $_POST['hungry_heart'];
$email_liar_lunatic = $_POST['liar_lunatic_true'];
// now we build the message of the email
$message = "Hunger:" . $email_hunger ."\n" . "Liar Lunatic" .
$email_liar_lunatic;
//email variable declaration
$email_to = "person@abc.com";
$email_subj = "the form name";
$from_address = "bill@def.com";
// now we build the message of the email
// now we send the email
mail($email_to, $email_subj,$message,"From: $from_address"); //send
the message
echo "<html><head><title>Thank You</title></head><body>Thank You!<br>you
