   Is there a way to make it so the Reply-to Address for the email is taken from the 'Email' field? Right now if you hit 'reply' to a email sent from MachForm it will reply back to the admin email not the sender.

   On line 433-435 of helper-functions.php you will find this code:
   

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

   
   Below that code, add this line:
   

   $mail->ReplyTo  = $table_data['XXXX'];

   
   Change the XXXX with your form's email field name. View source your form to see it. Usually it will be something like element_2

   Let me know if you have any difficulty.

   try this.. the reply email is changed, but no where near what it should be when the user leaves their email address in a field that is * requre *
   this is what I have now

   $mail->Host = "127.0.0.1";
   $mail->Mailer = "mail";
   $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
   $mail->ReplyTo = $table_data['element_9'];

   when I view source for view.php.. I see this

   <label class="description" for="element_9">Email Address: <span id="required_9" class="required">*</span></label>
   <div>
   <input id="element_9" name="element_9" class="element text medium" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>

   is it me or am I missing something..

   I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean.

   So the ReplyTo is not working for required field?

   The replyTo... when I do nothing to the code. hitting the reply, send email to my address.. changing the code. above.. will send a relpy to different email address not the one I typed in.. on the form itself. and submitted..

   That's odd. Can I take a look into your MachForm admin panel?

   Please send me the detail (URL, user+password) to customer.service [at] appnitro.com

   What if I have more than one form that I would like this to work with - for example one form has element_2 as the email field, but another has element_6

   Hi loophole,

   You are right, it won't work with multiple forms.
   To do that, you will need to add conditional code, so the whole code would be like this:

   $mail->Host     = "127.0.0.1";
   $mail->Mailer   = "mail";
   $mail->CharSet  = 'UTF-8';
   
   if($form_id == 3){
   	$mail->From = $table_data['element_2'];
   }else if($form_id == 4){
   	$mail->From = $table_data['element_6'];
   }

   
   Adjust the form id and element id value as needed.
