contact email form not working in PHP 5.2.1

[retrodog]

I cut and pasted PHP code that I used for a contact form on a site that had PHP 4.3.11 installed to another site that had 5.2.1 installed and now the form no longer works.  Looking for some help determining what i need to do to make it work.  I am not seeing anything but the php code being written to the page when scripts are run?  Anyway, here are the sites with the php info...

If you're seeing php code, then your webserver is not treating your script as php.  You'll need to alter the configuration (if you control the server) or contact the administrator.  You may also be able to fix it by renaming your script, or moving it to a directory where php is enabled.

are you using shorthand script like <? ?> are are you using the correct method <?php ?>

 

Php 5 is inherintly more secure because you have to do a better job of coding in order to get your scripts to function properly.
