contact form problem

[forsakenmemory]

this is a bit od not sure why its doing this the code below works pefectly. until i add another $var to the

 

mail($youremail, $subject, $name, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");

 

i can change the varibles to what ever i want but if i use more then 4 the form stops working does anyone know why?

 

ive tried loads of stuff but cant figure out why the limit is 4

 

<?php

$youremail = "admin@xxx.com";

$thankyou = "ok.htm";

if($email == ""){
?>
No email address added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
;}elseif($name == ""){
?>
No name added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
;}elseif($message == ""){
?>
No message added. Please go back.<br/>
<?php
;}else{

$msg = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $message);
$msg = ereg_replace('\\\"', "\"", $msg);
$message1 = "from: $name\nemail: $email\nmessage:\n$msg1";

mail($youremail, $subject, $name, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");
?>

because mail is one of php's built in functions, and not one that you can play with. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php for more information. By the way, I use a wonderful free script called tectite that I have had great success with. Absolutely ZERO spam once configured. Search yahoo for it if interested.

First, I'd suggest reading the manual on the mail() function - http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

 

Your code needs a major overhaul. $email and $message are never defined (I assume you're coding as if register_globals is ON - poor choice, and unlikely in any recent php installation. Did this originally appear in some ancient book?).  $message1 appears to serve no purpose. The construct :} is one I'm not familiar with, and I can't figure out how this code ever runs without issuing syntax error messages.
