I've wrote a simple contact form/script. Email validation etc. Hope you like it.

contact.php

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
/*

Copyright © 2005 SecondVersion

http://www.secondversion.com

*/

 
echo 'You can use the following form to contact us.

<br>

All fields required.

<br>

<form method="post" action="contact.php">

Name:

<br>

<input type="text" name="name" size="20">

<br>

<br>

E-mail address:

<br>

<input type ="text" name="email" size="20">

<br>

<br>

Subject:

<br>

<input type ="text" name="sub" size="20">

<br>

<br>

Message:

<br>

<textarea rows="5" cols="35" name="message" wrap="virtual"></textarea>

<br>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

<br>

<br>

</form>';

 
if(!empty($_POST['submit']))

{

 
$name = $_POST['name'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$sub = $_POST['sub'];

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

 
//Check for a valid email..

$validate = eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$", $email);

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/code/127903-simple-contact-form.html
 
if(!$validate)

{

echo("<br>" . $email . " is not a valid email.");

}

else

{

$e = $email;

}

 
//Required Fields, you can add or remove fields as neccessary.

//Did they leave them empty?

 
if(!$name || !$message || !$e)

{

echo '<br>One or more required fields were left blank, please enter all required data.';

}

else

{

 
//Get the date...

$date = date("M d Y");

 
//What email do you want it sent to?

$youremail = "you@domain.com";

 
//What subject to do want the email to be?

$subject = "Subject";

 
//Send the data...

$name = stripslashes($name);

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=127903
$subj = stripslashes($sub);

$message = stripslashes($message);

$msg = wordwrap($message, 70, "<br>");

 
$headers = 'From: '.$e.'';

$send = mail("$youremail", "$subject","

 
<b>Name:</b> $name 
 
<b>E-mail address:</b> $e 
 
<b>Subject:</b> $subj 
 
<b>Message:</b>

$msg 
 
<b>Message sent on:</b> $date 
<b>IP:</b> $ip 
 
", $headers);

 
if($send)

{

echo '<br>Thanks for contacting us.';

}

else

{

echo '<br>Seems to be a problem, please try again later.';

}

}

}

?>

 
</body>

Enjoy!

Thanks.

Yeah, I kept that in mind when writing it, wanted to keep it as simple as possible. And posted it in the hopes a beginner etc would take it learn/build on it. Hope it helps a few.

Your email validation regex has some problems. There are a number of valid mailbox characters you haven't included. In particular the “+” which I've seen quite a few times.

I appreciate that you allow for a host name instead of limiting users to a mailbox and domain name like many broken scripts. However, while technically possible, I doubt you need to allow for hosts with an underscore, and certainly not a percent.
