Email form(email not required fix)

Hey all-
I have the following php for a form email:
<?php
$to = "myemail@gmail.com.com" ;
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "RSVP";

$fields = array();
$fields{"Name"} = "Name";
$fields{"Email"} = "Email";
$fields{"RSVP"} = "RSVP";
$fields{"Message"} = "Message";

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: myemail@gmail.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for RSVP'ing";
$autoreply = "Thank you for RSVP'ing! We hope that you checked that you were coming. We can't wait for July 24th! Kristi & Graham";

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.mysite.com/index.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; }
}
}
?>


It works fine as is. (it's an RSVP for my wedding). I don't want an email to be necessary though. When I take out:
if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} , hitting submit on my html page just takes the browser to a blank page that is .../contact.php.

How can i fix this so email isn't required, and the page is redirected towards my index?

Thanks in advance.

The "blank page" is because you have a PHP script error, and your PHP error reporting is turned-off with your webhost account.

So, I'm guessing when you remove that line you mentioned, the "else" statement needs to go too.

You might want to turn-on error reporting to get an idea of what the error is, and what line:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

Try that...also I suggest using $_GET or $_POST instead of $_REQUEST...and echo instead of print. Ask any questions,

<?php
$to = "myemail@gmail.com.com" ;
if($_REQUEST['Email'] == '') {
$from = 'noemail@rsvp.com';
} else {
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
}
if($_REQUEST['Name'] == '') {
die("You have not entered a name, please go back and try again");
} else {
$name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ;
}
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "RSVP";

$fields = array();
$fields{"Name"} = "Name";
$fields{"Email"} = "Email";
$fields{"RSVP"} = "RSVP";
$fields{"Message"} = "Message";

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: myemail@gmail.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for RSVP'ing";
$autoreply = "Thank you for RSVP'ing! We hope that you checked that you were coming. We can't wait for July 24th! Kristi & Graham";

$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/index.html" );}

{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; }

Thanks for the responses....
I can't seem to figure out how to turn on error reporting in the code in my initial post. Any help? Thanks!

Just after the opening php tag at the top of the script, add:


error_reporting(E_ALL);
