Self explanatory, look at your mail function and count the parameters. Read the error message again.

Goitseone, no problem! That site is very helpful for programmers starting out. Next time, please place your code inside the PHP tags. Just above the typing area, press the PHP button and place your code inside the two tags. It helps us copy the code into our editors for easier reviewing. And, once you get further along with the new version, let us know if you solve it or if you need further help. That is what we are here for… Good luck with your code!
