PHP

Maybe you could provide a suggestion/guidance/fix as to why this form isn’t sneding the Form info to the email address, please?
This page is named: form_handle.php


<?php
// create an empty error array to hold any error messages\\
$error = array();
$mailto     = 'generic-email123@hotmail.com';
$mailsubj   = "Contact Form submission";
$mailhead   = "From:Vfrom\
";
$mailbody   = "--- Contact form results ---\
";
foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $value)
 {
 if($key != 'PHPSESSID')
 {
$mailbody .= $key.": ".$value."\
";
    }
}
if(isset($_POST['ans']) && $_POST['ans']!='hot')
{
// add error to error array
$error[] = '<h2>;Wrong Answer. Please Try Again<br/></h2>';
}
// if the check box is not checked it will not appear in the $_POST values, it's better to use isset rather than empty
if(!isset($_POST['agree']))
{
// add error to error array
$error[] = "<h2>Please read the Terms and then check the 'Agree' check box<br/>";
}
// if no errors are set, continue
if(empty($error))
{
$mailbody .= date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("now"));
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
echo "<h2>Thank You<br/></h2>";
//print_r($_REQUEST);
}
// print error messages if available
if(!empty($error))
{
foreach($error as $err)  {
echo $err.'<br />';
}
?>

<h2><a href="#" onclick="javascript:history.go(-1); return false">Return To Previous Page</h2></a>
<?
}
?>

<html>
<body>
<!--Begin Logo-->
<div class="container1">
<div id="logo">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
?>

And here’s the html form code:


<div class="form">
    <form action='form_handle.php' method='post' name='myform' onSubmit="return checkemail()">
	<table border='0' padding='0' spacing='20' >
	<tr>
	<td>Contact Name:</td>
	<td><input type='text' size='20' name='contact_name'>
	<br /><br/>
	</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td>Email Address:</td>
	<td><input type='text' size='20' name='email_address'>
	<br /><br/>
	</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	<td><br/><font size="1" color="#000000" face="Arial"></td>
	<td><textarea name='Description' rows='8' cols='40'></textarea>
	<input type='hidden' name='form_filename' id ='form_filename' value='empty'>
	<br /><br/></td>
	</tr>
	<td></td>

	</tr>
	<td><input type="checkbox" name="agree" id="agree" value="agree" /> <label for='agree'>Check Box To Agree To The
	<a href="http://www.somewebsite.com/page.php?page=1"><font size="2" color="#000000" face="Arial"><u>Terms</u></a></font>?</label></td>
	<tr>
	<td colspan='2' align='left'><input type='submit' value = 'Save' src="../images/v.gif"></td>
	</tr>
	</table>
	</form>

Well… kind of hard to tell, you really aren’t telling us much about what is happening. But a quick glance shows you’ll never pass this validation:

if(isset($_POST['ans']) && $_POST['ans']!='hot')
{
// add error to error array
$error[] = '<h2>;Wrong Answer. Please Try Again<br/></h2>';
}

You don’t have a form field named “ans” so that will always fail.

Yes, unfortunately that code is not even close to being workable. The script barely references the form fields at all, and is quite a mish mash. The HTML form is also very poorly constructed. I recommend deleting both the PHP and the form and starting again, building this up carefully step by step.
