    echo ($results);

    function redirect($url)

    }


// email results //


    $to = 'dicerolls@nybn.org' . ',';
    $to .= $email;
    $subject = "Dice roll for $name";
    $message = "$name rolled a $results for $description";
    $headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: " . $from . "\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
    $headers .= 'From: NYbN Dice Roller <dicerolls@nybn.org>' . "\r\n";

    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
    </body>
    </html>

Above is the code as it stands. For whatever reason when you go to http://www.nybn.org/diceform.php and try to roll the dice, you get a blank page. Could someone please tell me where my code's wrong and possibly suggest corrections?

Thank you in advance!

Have you turned on php error checking to see if that gives you a clue?

PS - good style would have the php at the top of your scripts with the html at the end and all of the functions near the bottom of the php code so that one can easily read the code and follow it.

            if(eregi($bad_string, strtolower($str_to_test))) { 
                echo "$bad_string found. Suspected injection attempt - mail not being sent.";
                exit;
            }

From the manual page for eregi:

Warning

This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.

Alternatives to this function include:

preg_match() (with the i (PCRE_CASELESS) modifier)

You need to update your code to the alternative.

Or preferably, use a library for your mailing needs such as PHPMailer or SwiftMailer which will properly handle this task.
