forward email

sdetails · September 15, 2009

Hi

I'm having trouble getting this forward email form working, I know the issues but don't really know how to go about them. My php is a bit rusty!

1 - I don't know how to submit the form once validated

2 - how do I validate an array, I only need them to enter something into the * Mandatory fields.

see attached for the code i'm working with.

Thanks in advance!

<?php

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

mail( "[email protected]", "Your Feedback",

$message, "From: $email" );

header( "Location: http://yournextformtoshow.com/next.php" );

function show_form() {
global $HTTP_POST_VARS, $print_again, $error, $send;
