You'll need to post more code... looks like you're echoing out in a loop of some kind.

I am sending two emails on one file.


<?php

$EmailFrom = "TEST";
$EmailTo = "XXX@gmail.com";
$Subject = "Contact Us";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

?>



<?php

// CHANGE THE VARIABLES BELOW

$EmailFrom = "TESTTHANK";
$Subject = "Thank You";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$date = date('M dd Y'); 

// prepare email body text


$Body = "";
$Body .= $date."\n";
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= $Name . ":";
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= '
I am delighted you contacted us.
';

// send email 
$success = mail($Email, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.XXX.com\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>

Its right there in the code you posted - two 'd' (each two digit date).

$date = date('M dd Y');

If I put one d it still outputs two days. Here are the results below...

d 2121
DD TueTue
D Tue
dd 2121

double-check.
M d Y will result in (something like) "August 22 2012", whereas M dd Y will result in "August 2222 2012".

Running the actual code you posted ("as-is," and corrected) produces these results as expected (yes, I tested it).
