Simple contact form help...please!?

[andthen]

Hi there folks,

I was just wondering if anybody could help me with a problem I'm having with a contact form not working?

Its a basic php form, I eventually want to integrate it into my contacts page but just for now I'm using two php pages, one for the form and a confirmation page. I have added a destination email address - have obviously omitted in this paste and I have enabled scripting on my domain.

Contact.php
<!-------INSERT THIS CODE WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR FORM TO BE------>

<?php>
$A= rand(1, 9);
$B= rand(1, 9);
$C=$A+$B;
?>
        <form method="post" action="contactus.php" >
        <table width="400" border="0"  align="left">
        <tr><td>Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="Name" size="20" maxlength="20"></td></tr>
        <tr><td>E-Mail:</td><td><input type="text" name="Email" size="20" maxlength="35"></td></tr>
        <tr><td>Phone:</td><td><input type="text" name="Phone" size="14" maxlength="14"></td></tr>
        <tr><td>Question:</td><td><textarea cols="40" rows="5" maxleanth="255" name="Comment"></textarea></td></tr>
        <tr><td><h3><?php echo $A."+".$B."="; ?></td><td>Please answer to validate your email.<input type="text" name="Yanswer" size="3" maxlength="3"></td></tr>
        <tr><td height="25"></td></tr>
        <input type="hidden" name="Answer" value="<?php echo "$C"; ?>">
        <tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="CONTACT US"></td></tr>
        <tr><td height="100"></td></tr>
        </table>
        </form>

<!------------------------------------------------------------------>

Contactus.php
<!------INSERT THIS CODE IN YOUR THANK YOU PAGE. IT SHOULD BE NAMED contactus.php-------->

<?php
$Name = $_POST['Name'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$Phone=$_POST['Phone'];
$Comment = $_POST['Comment'];

//EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINE , INSERT THE SITE EMAIL
$To="myemailaddress.com";


$Subject="Contact form, Your Website";
$Answer=$_POST['Answer'];
$Yanswer=$_POST['Yanswer'];


$Message="
From: $Name
Phone: $Phone
Email: $Email
$Comment";


if ($Answer==$Yanswer){
mail($To,$Subject,$Message);
echo "<h3>Your message has been sent. Thank you.<table><tr><td height=\"1375\"></td></tr></table>";}
else{
echo "<h3>You did not enter the correct answer to the validation question. Please click back and try again.<table><tr><td height=\"1375\"></td></tr></table>";
}
                ?>

Hello andthen

I'm happy to help out if I can... but you might have problems PM'ing code to me. Try it.

[rah]

<edit>I found your code you were trying to post...</edit>

[Uncle Dog]

What exactly is wrong? (happening OR not happening).

[rah]

I hadn't looked over his code, I just added it to his original post so it could be seen.

[Uncle Dog]

Sorry rah.

I meant to ask andthen... but I've spotted the FIRST problem.

The first php tag, remove the greater than sign. <?php>

Now it works.

[Uncle Dog]

... andthen a whole lot more. andthen, where did you get this from?

[andthen]

Thanks for that Rah, very much appreciated!

[andthen]

Well drats, i get the following error:

"Server Error 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

I realise I made a complete rookie mistake with the extra bracket at the start lol so I will try and figure this out myself as there must be something simple going on no? Anyways if theres anything else you could add please feel free to save my sanity and let me know!

Cheers

Does contact.php work? Is it failing in contactus.php?
