php contact form help

[Ginger-Menace]

I have a contact form which is working well, there is a variable called '$from' which is where the from email goes, it tells me to use a static mail address, but i would like to use the name and email which is sent via the form to be used. i have tried everything and I'm going code blind! can anyone cast their eyes over it and see whats wrong?

Spoiler: php code

<?php
// require ReCaptcha class
require('recaptcha-master/src/autoload.php');
/*
* CONFIGURE EVERYTHING HERE
*/

// an email address that will be in the From field of the email.
$from = .$_POST[Name]. <.$_POST.>;

// an email address that will receive the email with the output of the form
$sendTo = 'Orders <[email protected]>';

// subject of the email
$subject = 'Trade Print Order from ' .$_POST[name];

// form field names and their translations.
// array variable name => Text to appear in the email
$fields = array('name' => 'Name', 'businessname' => 'Business Name', 'phone' => 'Phone', 'email' => 'Email', 'order' => 'Order');

// message that will be displayed when everything is OK
$okMessage = 'Contact form successfully submitted. Thank you, We will get back to you soon!';

// If something goes wrong, we will display this message.
$errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later';

$recaptchaSecret = '000000000000000000000000';
/*
* LET'S DO THE SENDING
*/

// if you are not debugging and don't need error reporting, turn this off by error_reporting(0);
error_reporting(0);

try
{
if (!empty($_POST)) {

// validate the ReCaptcha, if something is wrong, we throw an Exception,
// i.e. code stops executing and goes to catch() block

if (!isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])) {
throw new \Exception('ReCaptcha is not set.');
}

// do not forget to enter your secret key in the config above
// from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin

$recaptcha = new \ReCaptcha\ReCaptcha($recaptchaSecret, new \ReCaptcha\RequestMethod\CurlPost());

// we validate the ReCaptcha field together with the user's IP address

$response = $recaptcha->verify($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'], $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);


if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
throw new \Exception('ReCaptcha was not validated.');
}

// everything went well, we can compose the message, as usually
$emailText ="
Name: $_POST[name]\n
Business Name: $_POST[businessname]\n
Email: $_POST[email]\n
Phone: $_POST[phone]\n
Message:\n\n\n$_POST[order]";



$headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";',
'From: ' . $from,
'Reply-To: ' . $from,
'Return-Path: ' . $from,
);

mail($sendTo, $subject, $emailText, implode("\n", $headers));

$responseArray = array('type' => 'success', 'message' => $okMessage);
}
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
$responseArray = array('type' => 'danger', 'message' => $errorMessage);
}

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
$encoded = json_encode($responseArray);

header('Content-Type: application/json');

echo $encoded;
}
else {
echo $responseArray['message'];
}[/SPOILER]

sorry i have only just got around to checking this. I have found the solution, by defining
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));


I was able to simply say $from = "$name<$email_address>"; and this seemed to work,
the form itself is for customers to send order through to my workshop and this makes it easy to reply to them with any questions.
does that look like its ok?
