I am getting an array error, now it is still sending the email, and displaying the message(of course i would really like it to be handled all on the same html page not a separate page, but I can not figure out what the error is…  
any help would be appreciated, I haven’t worked with php in 10? years so you can call me a newb again.

php code:

```auto
	<?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $to = "removedemail"; // this is your Email address
    $from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
    $vendor = $_POST['vendor'];
    $bname = $_POST['bname'];
	$web = $_POST['web'];
	$wares = $_POST['wares'];
	$phone = $_POST['phone'];
	$madd = $_POST['madd'];
	$bsize = $_POST['bsize'];
	$event = $_POST['event'];
	$subject = "event Application";
    $subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
    $message = $vendor . " " . $bname . " wrote the following:" . $vendor . "Vendor Name:" . $bname . "Booth Name:" . $web . "Websire Adress:" . $wares . "What do you sell:" . $phone .

    $message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $vendor . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];

    $headers = "From:" . $from;
    $headers2 = "From:" . $to;
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
    mail($from,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
    echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $vendor . ", we will contact you shortly.";
    // You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.

Where is an input in the form that has a name of “message”?
