form with captcha security coding

[kralspace]

Hi all,

I've been trying to add a captcha script to a form, having it check the security image first of course, then email the contents of the form. It checks the image,  goes on and says "thank you, your message is......etc", but I can't get it to send the email.....if anyone can look thru it and see what I'm doing wrong. I'd really, really appreciate it, Thanks, Kathy
<?php
session_start();

if( isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   if( $_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code'] && !empty($_SESSION['security_code'] ) ) {
     
  $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}

if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["send_mail"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["send_mail"] == "form")) {

$message = "Thank you.\n";
$message .= "Your entries were as follows -\n";
$message .= "

Name: $name
Email: $email
Comments: $comment";

$to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Comments on materials: $name";
             mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: OP-TEC <[email protected]>\r\n");

header("Location: http://www.op-tec.org/comment2.php");

}
   
  echo 'Thank you. Your message said "'.$_POST['message'].'"';
   } else {
     
  echo 'Sorry, you have provided an invalid security code';
   }
} else {

I'm trying to use this form on my localhost along with the Captcha PHP.  However, the $_SESSION[security_code] is always empty prior to doing the check.  It always fails.  But if I test it on your URL, it works.  Some config must be wrong on my system.  ANy ideas?
