brand new to PHP. i have this email form that actually works, but when i receive an email, the sender is "nobody". i want it to be the email address the user inputs in the form. how do i go about doing this? also, is there a way to make sure the user has filled out all the text fields before submitting?

<?php

$recipient = 'XXXX@hotmail.com';

if(isset($_POST['Name'])){
$message = '';
foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
if($k!='submit'){
$message .= "$k: ".stripslashes($v)."\n\n";
}
}

if(@mail($recipient, 'Email from '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $message)){
$message = 'Your email has been sent. Thank you for your message.';
}else{
$message = 'Error sending the mail!';
}
}

?>

<html>
<head>
<body>
<!-- navigation and content here-->

<?php if(!isset($message)){ ?>

$from = $_POST['Email'];
$headers = "From: $from\r\nReply-To: $from";
if(@mail($recipient, 'Email from '.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $message, $headers)){

Suggestion, you may want to add some form of checking to help minimise spammers using your form to send emails to others (you can actually get in trouble if this happens)

I used this simple regx that I got off the php website:
if(eregi("MIME-Version:",$name.$email.$comments)){die('Get out, spammer.');}
