I made the suggestions mentioned by Mike and don't get any error, but
the form doesn't work properly. Check it out at
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Contact_Form_test.php
the PHP form CODE I now have is:
<?
$form_block = "
<FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\">
<p><strong>Your Name:</strong></p>
<INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"senders_name\" SIZE=30></p>
<p><strong>Your E-mail Address:</strong><p>
<INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"senders_email\" SIZE=30></p>
<p><strong>Message:</strong></p>
<TEXTAREA NAME=\"message\" COLS=30 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual></TEXTAREA></p>
<INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"ds\">
<p><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"Send this Form\"></p>
</FORM>";
if ($_POST['op'] !="ds") {
// they need to see the form
echo "$form_block";
} else if ($_POST['op'] =="ds") {
//check value of $_POST['sender name']
if ($_POST['sender_name'] =="") {
$name_err = "<font color=red>Please enter your name!</font><br />";
$send = "no";
}
//check value of $_POST['sender_email']
if ($POST['sender_email'] =="") {
$email_err ="<font color=red>Please enter your email address!</font><br />";
$send= "no";
}
//check value of $_POST['message']
if ($POST['message'] =="") {
$message_err = "<font color=red>Please enter a message!</font><br />";
$send ="no";
}
if ($send !="no") {
//it's o.k to send, so build the mail
$msg ="E-MAIL SENT FROM WWW SITE\n";
$msg .="Senders Name: $POST{['senders_name']}\n";
$msg .="Senders E-MAIL: $POST{['senders_email']}\n";
$msg .="Senders Name: {$POST['message']}\n\n";
$to ="webguync@gmail.com";
$subject = "There has been a disturbance in the Force";
$mailheaders .="Reply-To: {$_POST['sender_email']}\n";
//send the mail
mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
//display confirmation to user
echo "<p>mail has been sent!</p>";
} else if ($send =="no") {
//print error messages
echo "$name_err";
echo "$email_err";
echo "$message_err";
echo "$form_block";
}
}
?>
