Not sure if it it is a typo above, are you actually passing
$msgContent in the function above? If it is a global variable, you
would need to add a 'global' declaration:

function ProcessForm($values)
{
global $msgContent;

mail('myemail:domain.com', 'Website Enquiry', $msgContent, "From:
\"{$values['name']}\" <{$values['emailaddress']}>\r\n");
..
..
..
}

Also try adding CRLF sequence at the end of the header line as shown above.

Re: PHP Email Question

I cant see why you are getting the letter 'z' (assuming $msgContent
was referenced properly) . Complete code will be helpful to debug the
problem.

Also, Heredoc syntax will be more helpful in your situation. And usage
of global keyword is strongly discouraged in favor of $GLOBALS
superglobal array
