OK I'm trying to help my friend out with this template he has but the contact form is not working.
Here is the XML document
contactFormConfiguration.xml
contactFormStructure.xml
And here's the contact.php that goes with it
I'm guessing the contact.php is the problem; can anyone help me please and thanks? Would be very helpful for my friend; you may contact me via MSN: [email snipped]
Here is the XML document
contactFormConfiguration.xml

I can't see a single line of php code in the code you've posted. I would suggest downloading a php form script or using the following script instead.
The above script is a sample script I have made myself and should do the job fine.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<? if (isset($_POST['subject']) && $_POST['message']!=='') { $address = "your_real_email@domain.com"; //change this to the receiving address. $subject = "Website Email: ".$_POST['subject']; if ($_POST['name']!=='') { $body = "<table border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 width=200><tr><td>".$_POST['message']."<br> <br> Yours Sincerely<br> ".$_POST['name']."</td></tr></table>"; } else { $body = "<table border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=0 width=200><tr><td>".$_POST['message']. "</td></tr></table>"; } $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: do_not_reply@your_website_form' . "\r\n"; mail($address,$subject,$body,$headers); } //below displays the form while above processes it. echo "<form method='post'>Subject: <input type=text value='' maxlength=100 name='subject' size=30><br> <textarea cols=30 rows=20 name='message'></textarea><br>Name: <input type='text' value='' name='name'> <input type='submit' value='submit'></form>"; ?>
Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.
