That is the craziest form I have ever seen, lol. I would just chop it down to one variable first and see if I could get the email with something simple. Then, start letting more code in, and you might catch the problem.

steve448 · October 21, 2007

The other thing you can do is remove the @ from the mail function.

This is suppressing the error, but if you have an error you want to know what it is so you can fix it.

I agree lol

crj900 · October 21, 2007

Hey guys, thanks for the reply. I'm trying to make a contact form with about 20 questions. Ive tried this site http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/ and it does not work. It will display about 15 questions, and for the other 5 it wont have the boxes inserted.

Does anyone know of any contact form generators that work?

Thanks in advanced, and I'll take out the @ to see if that fixes the problem.

EDIT** Taking out the @ symbol didn't work.
