FormToEmail (free script)

Version: 2.5 - February 4th 2011
No change. Just updating the date because some people think if you haven't made a new version for a while, the script is outdated! It isn't...it just doesn't need any changes!

Added the option to hard-code a From: email address into the script, as required by some hosts.

Changes: Used the name input from the form in the email From: header to show the sender's name.
