Contact form problem

happypete · November 30, 2010

Hi,

I've been looking for a very simple contact form the validates server side - email and name field required. I will only recieve about 20 emails a month so it doent need to be complicated.

I have compiled a script from diffrent code I have found online.

The spam trap 'url' works, the validation works, but when it sends it say 'message sent' but the mail never arrives. It did arrive before I put the 'URL' field in.

When I took the 'echo "message sent' out and used the 'header("thanks.php");' it didnt redirect either.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

<?php
function validateName($name){
	//if it's NOT valid
	if(strlen($name) < 4)
		return false;
	//if it's valid
	else
		return true;
}
function validateEmail($email){
	return ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+.[a-z]{2,4}$", $email);
}

?>
