Need forum's help: urgent please!

Feb 23rd, 2009

Dear friends,
Kindly look into this code below for me. I intend to use it to send my form data(not validated) to an email address. After I filled the form and running the code, it is the else echo statement ("Form not properly completed") that i keep recieving. However, I could not locate the problem. Please treat as urgent for me.
See code below:

It might not be the error that's causing your problem but remove the semicolon after the second if statement

PMs asking for help will not be answered, post on the forums. That's what they're there for.

I have removed the semi-colon but the result is still the same. Any other suggestion please?

i thought mail only has 4 basic attributes. you have a lot more than that. you need to put all the variables that need to be included in the email into one variable and pass that to the function.

look here for examples: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
