did that and still nothing…
does this logic make sense?


<?php 
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
    //Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
    if(trim($_POST['contactName']) === '') {
        $nameError = 'You forgot to enter your name.';
        $hasError = true;
    } else {
            $name = trim($_POST['contactName']);
    }
    //Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
    if(trim($_POST['email']) === '')  {
        $emailError = 'You forgot to enter your email address.';
        $hasError = true;
    } else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
            $emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.';
            $hasError = true;
    } else {
            $email = trim($_POST['email']);
    }
    //Check to make sure comments were entered    
    if(trim($_POST['comments']) === '') {
        $commentError = 'You forgot to enter your comments.';
        $hasError = true;
    } else {
        $comments = trim($_POST['comments']);
    }
    //If there is no error, send the email
    if(!isset($hasError)) {
    echo 'email sent';
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];

    $to= 'lukemaxpro@excite.com';
    $subject = 'Contact Form Submission from '.$name;
    $body = 'Name: '.$name." \
\
".'Email: '.$email." \
\
".'Comments: '.$comments;
    $headers = 'From: My Site <'.$to.'>' . "\\r\
" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

    $emailSent = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
    }
} ?>
