Not really an answer to your question, just a tip. You shouldnt repeat
code like this really,plus you dont need left trim and right trim
seperately, just call trim() which will do doth.

create a "sanitize" function:



function sanitize($dirty_data)(

$clean_data = trim(strip_tags(stripslashes($dirty_Data)));

return $clean_data;
}


Then:

$name = sanitize($_POST['name']);
$email = sanitize($_POST['email']);
$subject = sanitize($_POST['subject']);
$msg = sanitize($_POST['msg']);


Makes you code clearer and you can then re-use the function in any of
your applications then.
