   Is it possible to for Mach Form to put a email field as the FROM in the notification field and put a name in the NAME field of the notification email?

   This way I can just hit reply when viewing the notification.

   Hmm.. ok, let say you have a form with id = 7 and the following field id:

   Email --> element_2
   Name --> element_3_1

   (view the HTML source of your form to get those ids)

   Edit your includes/helper-functions.php, search around line 448 for this code:

   $mail->Host     = "127.0.0.1";
   $mail->Mailer   = "mail";
   $mail->CharSet  = 'UTF-8';

   
   Now, right above those code, add this code:

   if($form_id == 7){
   	if(!empty($table_data['element_2'])){
   		$mail->From = $table_data['element_2'];
   	}
   
   	if(!empty($table_data['element_3_1'])){
   		$mail->FromName = $table_data['element_3_1'];
   	}
   }

   
   That would do it. Make sure to adjust those id numbers.

   Let's make this a bit more complex :)

   I am using MachForm to get leads for event bookings and my replies to the leads invariably say: "Event: dd-mm-yyyy". This helps me easly track conversations regarding a lead or a booking.

   I can figure out how to add a field to the subject line but how would I add the three fields from the date? Again, this would allow me to simply reply to the lead with the information needed without writing a new email.

   Thanks.

   It's pretty simple actually. If you take a look into your form HTML source, the three fields would have id such as these:

   - element_4_1
   - element_4_2
   - element_4_3

   From helper-functions.php file, you can access them all together by using this variable: $table_data['element_4']

   duh!

   How do add the text prefix "Event:"?

   I can get just the text or just the date... but not both.

   like this:

   $mail->Subject = "Event: {$table_data['element_4']}";
