   Hi. pluggable.php has the function function wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers = '', $attachments = array() ) . My contact form gets all this fields ex. `wp_mail($et_email_to, sprintf( '[%s] ' . esc_html($_POST['et_contact_subject']), $et_site_name ),
   esc_html($_POST['et_contact_message'],
   'From: "'. esc_html($_POST['et_contact_name']) .'" <' . esc_html($_POST['et_contact_email']) . ' >');
   ` I want to add a new field so that i can collect the phone number as well. Any ideas? not willing to use plugins.

   not willing to use plugins.

   Why?

   Because your options are:

   1) Use a plugin
   2) Write the code in functions.php (which is exactly the same as using a plugin)
   2b) Write your own plugin
   3) Editing core (NEVER EVER DO THAT)

   So ... Why not a plugin?

   I don't understand what you're looking to do here - why are you looking at the pluggable wp_mail() function? If you're collecting a phone number, you need a form that a user enters it in, and then you need to put the phone number into the text of the $message that you send. wp_mail(), which is essentially just a wrapper for PHP mail(), doesn't have a phone number argument.

   @Ipstenu dont want to use a plugin because all i want is just a single field (phone number), besides i dont want to create another page and change the design.
   @helen i was just reading about you yesterday as i was doing a research about multiple check boxes.
   1. apparently adding a new argument to the function wp_mail() is unnecessary, correct?
   2. if so, how can i put the phone number into the text of the $message?

   thank you guys!..

   I don't know where you are implementing this form, but this sounds like a basic PHP contact form. You build an HTML form, process the data in PHP, build a $message (which is just a string), and mail it. If you don't know how to do that and do it securely, you really should reconsider using a plugin.

   Thank you Helen i figured it out. yeah, you guys were right, adding another argument was crazy. So contact_number is the field that has the phone number.
   <!-------->
   wp_mail($email_to, sprintf( '[%s] ' . esc_html($_POST['contact_subject']), $et_site_name ), esc_html($_POST['contact_message']).esc_html($_POST['contact_number']), 'From: "'. esc_html($_POST['contact_name']) .'" <' . esc_html($_POST['contact_email']) . ' >');
   <!------------>
   the field for my form looks like this:
   

   <!------------->
   <p class="clearfix">
   <input type="text" name="contact_number" value="<?php if ( isset($_POST['contact_number']) ) echo esc_attr($_POST['contact_number']); else esc_attr_e('Phone Number','MyTheme'); ?>" id="contact_number" class="input" /></p>

   <!------------->
   Thank you. Please look at it and let me know if you think i need to add something else.
