Not sure if this question should be in HTML or PHP.

 

In 2005 I had someone make a form on my website that is emailed to me. Problem is that the hosting company is upgrading to PHP 5.4 and this form does not work with 5.4

 

Any assistance in correcting this to comply with 5.4 is greatly appreciated. Again, the form works fine with PHP 4.

 

This is the HTML:

<form id="signup" action="mail.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_form ( );">

 

 

Here is the mail.php that the html form uses:

---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- -----

 

 

<?

if (empty($email))

exit();

 

$to = 'gemaine@dvimest.org';

$subject = 'Form Request';

$message = 'State: ' . $_REQUEST['State'] .

 

"\n Name " . $_REQUEST['nameself'] .

"\n " .

"\n Spouse " . $_REQUEST['namespouse'] .

"\n " .

"\n Phone-- " . $_REQUEST['phone'] .

"\n " .

"\n Email " . $_REQUEST['email'] .

"\n\n " .

 

$email = $_REQUEST['email'];

$headers = 'From: ' . $email . "\r\n" .

'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

 

mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

header("Location: formresponse.html");

?>

It relies on a setting in php that should be turned off, and remain off. You need to explicitly assign the value from the form to $email in your if( empty($email) ) { conditional, or use the form value directly in it.
