    $do=$_POST['do'];
    if ($do == '') {
?>
<div id="contact">
</div>
<div id="frm">
    <form name="mail" method="post" action="index.php?do=mail">
        <input type="hidden" name="ip" id="ip" value="<?php echo $ip; ?>" />
        <div>
            <input name="subject" type="text" class="emailtext" id="subject" onfocus="if(this.value=='Subject'){this.value='';}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Subject';}" value="Subject" style="border-width:0px;margin:0px;padding:5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;" />
        </div>
        <div>
            <input name="realname" type="text" class="emailtext" id="realname" onfocus="if(this.value=='Your Name'){this.value='';}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Your Name';}" value="Your Name" style="border-width:0px;margin:0px;padding:5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;" />

            <textarea name="message" id="message" onfocus="if(this.value=='Your Message'){this.value='';}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Your Message';}">Your Message</textarea>
        </div>
        <div>
            <br />
            <input type="hidden" name="do" value="1" />
            <input name="Submit" id="Submit" type="submit" value="" />

        </div>
    </form>
</div>
<?php
} else {
    function isemail($email)
        {
           $regex = '^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]{2,})+$';
           if (eregi($regex, $email)) return true;
           else return false;
        }
    $feed = "\r\n";
    $recipent = 'dudelee@gmail.com';
    $name = $_POST['realname'];
    $address = $_POST['email'];
    $ip = $_POST['ip'];
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
        
    If ((isemail($address) == true) && (strlen($name) > 1)  && (strlen($message) > 1)) { 
        
        $full = $message.$feed.$feed.$name.$feed.$address.$feed.$ip;
        $headers = 'From: '.$address;
        mail($recipent, $subject, $full, $headers);
        
        echo "

        It looks like you forgot something or you didn't provide a valid email address.

$_POST should work with super globals turned off.

Does that give you an error? If not why doesn't it work?

[dudeking]

The message I get is

Notice: Undefined index: do in /home/fhlinux172/d/dudeking.co.uk/user/htdocs/include/scripts/contact/contact.php on line 2

and all that happens when a message is sent with the script is the page is refreshed, no message sent message is displayed and the message isnt sent.

[MMJ]

Problem with your host. Turn error_reporting off by putting this code in the beginning of the file.

error_reporting(0);

It should work currently though.

I think you mean "with register globals turned off"

$_POST is a Super Global http://us.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

[dudeking]

Im asking my host to turn register globals on I can't work with them off.

Thanks for the help

Change this

PHP Code:

if ($do == '') { 


To

PHP Code:

if (empty($do)) { 


[dudeking]

Thanks harmor but still get the message Notice: Undefined index: do in /home/fhlinux172/d/dudeking.co.uk/user/htdocs/include/scripts/contact/contact.php on line 2

Web Host told me they cannot turn on globals from the server, I have do to it, how can I turn them on?

[harmor]

I'm sorry.

Change

PHP Code:

$do=$_POST['do'];
if ($do == '') { 


To

PHP Code:

if(empty($_POST['do'])) {

Your email script is inscure and could be used by spammers. You might want to look up "email injection" and fix it, or just use a different script like this one.

[dudeking]

This script was written for me before I new PHP and I have just been copying it around to every site I build. I will look into more secure email scripts now.

Please can some one tell me how to enable globals? The default value for them on PHP5 is off rather than on as with PHP4. Enabling them would solve 99% of the problems I am having. Would I gain anything from having them off?

[brendandonhu]

The script you posted doesn't use register_globals, what's the problem you're having with it?

[MMJ]

Did you try what harmor posted?

[dudeking]

Yeah I've tried it look here http://dudeking.co.uk/contact/index.php

Fill it in, all that happens is that the form resets, no message is sent.
