<?php

if($_POST) {

     $name = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactName']));
     $email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactEmail']));
     $subject = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactSubject']));
     $contact_message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactMessage']));

     // Check Name
     if (strlen($name) < 2) {
         $error['name'] = "Please enter your name.";
     }
     // Check Email
     if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9&\'\.\-_\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\ .)*+[a-z]{2}/is', $email)) {
         $error['email'] = "Please enter a valid email address.";
     }
     // Check Message
     if (strlen($contact_message) < 15) {
         $error['message'] = "Please enter your message. It should have at least 15 characters.";
     }
     //Subject
     if ($subject == '') { $subject = "Contact Form Submission"; }

     // Set Message
     $message .= "Email from: " . $Name . "<br />";
     $message .= "Email address: " . $email . "<br />";
     $message .= "Message: <br />";
     $message .= $contact_message;
     $message .= "<br /> ----- <br /> This email was sent from your site's contact form. <br />";

     // Set From: header
     $from = $name . "<". $email . ">";

     // Email Headers
     $headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
     $headers .= "Reply-To: ". $email . "\r\n";
     $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
     $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

     if (!$error) {

         ini_set("sendmail_from", $siteOwnersEmail); // for windows server
         $mail = mail($siteOwnersEmail, $subject, $message, $headers);

         if ($mail) { echo "OK"; }
         else { echo "Something went wrong. Please try again."; }
        
     } # end if - no validation error

     else {

         $response = (isset($error['name'])) ? $error['name'] . "<br /> \n": null;
         $response .= (isset($error['email'])) ? $error['email'] . "<br /> \n": null;
         $response .= (isset($error['message'])) ? $error['message'] . "<br />": null;
        
         echo $response;

     } # end if - there was a validation error

}

?>

It seems like the variable $siteOwnersEmail is used, but its value is not defined in your provided code. You need to set the email address where you want to receive the form submissions. Add the following line at the beginning of your script, before the if($_POST) line:

$siteOwnersEmail = 'your-email@example.com';

Replace 'your-email@example.com' with the actual email address where you want to receive the form submissions.

Additionally, there's a small error in your code. You're using $Name in your message concatenation, but the variable is actually $name (lowercase). Update the line to:

$message .= "Email from: " . $name . "<br />";

After making these changes, your script should work better.
