 $headers2 = "From: me@newhere.com"; 
 $subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us"; 
 $autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please consult our website at www.newhere.com";
 
 if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} 
 else { 
 if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";} 
 else { 
 $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); 
 $send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2); 
 if($send) 
 {header( "Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.html" );} 
 else 
 {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; } 
 }
}
 ?>

Any help on these would be appreciated! I have also attached my html form for the data input! (saved as a .txt file)

You're using curly braces {} on an array, the correct syntax is brackets []

$fields['elemnt2'] = 'Something';

And why are you naming them elements?

shouldn't be easier to use the actual names?

$field['address'] = "address"?
