Hey guys.

 

I've been having some frustrating issues with my php + contact form recently. I'm quite the noob when it comes to php in general and have only really worked with contact stuff in the past.

 

I have my contact form calling a php send mail file in a php folder on my server. No idea why, but im not even getting validation. I click send, to no avail.

 

I have attached the code for your perusal. I appreciate any help in advance!! Thank you.

 

Form:

 

<form id="contact-form" class="fixed" action="javascript:void(0);">
	  <fieldset>
	   <p id="formstatus"></p>
	   <p>
		    <label for="name">Your name: <span class="required">*</span></label><br />
		    <input class="text" type="text" id="name" name="name" value="" />
	   </p>
	   <p>
		    <label for="email">Your Email Address: <span class="required">*</span></label><br />
		    <input class="text" type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" />
	   </p>
	   <p>
		    <label for="subject">Subject: <span class="required">*</span></label><br />
		    <input class="text" type="text" id="subject" name="subject" value=""  />
	   </p>
	   <p>
		    <label for="message">Message: </label><br />
		    <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="3" cols="25"></textarea>
	   </p>
	   <p>
		    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send!" />
	   </p>
	  </fieldset>
	 </form>

 

PHP file (send.php):

I've hidden the send to email address for obvious reasons.

I think that on your html form you dont have a method i think its called.

 

Like you need to say POST or GET.

 

 

On your php form i didnt go thru it all in detail.

 

 

but i did see

 

 

if($email == '')

return false;

else

$eregi = preg_replace($regex, '', $email);

return empty($eregi) ? true : false;

 

 

I noticed that your else wasn't wrapped in {}

 

 

like i thought you had to write those statements like this.

 

 

if ( $t < 1) { echo "blah blah blah"; } else { "No its asscheeks didnt work im afraid" ; } //close else.

 

 

 

 

 

I dont know. To me it looks like you have an awful lot of errors in your script. But maybe there is another way of writing php that i dont know about.

 

I only write php the way i do it, I dont know everything about it.

Also I wouldnt do this

 

 

if($email == '')

return false;

 

 

I would use

 

if (! empty($email)) {

 

 

etc etc etc } else {

 

etc etc etc }

 

I know you can run into problems writing it like $email =''.

 

I cant remeber what they were tho. I think its either because of the space having a value of space. Or empty entries on the database.
