and my contact.php file is in the same folder as the page5.html and the code is ( I left the comments in from the tutorial so I know what it all means-I didnt think this would cause the problem this cause the problem?:
Quote:
<?php
//first we check if $_POST['nickname'] , $_POST['visitormail'] , $_POST['topic'] , $_POST['message'] exist, then we check if they are empty or not.
if (!empty($_POST['nickname']) && !empty($_POST['visitormail']) && !empty($_POST['topic']) && !empty($_POST['message']))
{
//We deactivate possible html tags
$nickname = htmlspecialchars($_POST['nickname']);
$visitormail = htmlspecialchars($_POST['visitormail']);
$topic = htmlspecialchars($_POST['topic']);
$message = htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']);
//We transform new lines into <br>s
$message = nl2br($message);
//we define the variable:
//$mail contains the email address of the recipient (admin)
$mail = 'rachelsne@hotmail.com';
//$topic is the topic of the message
$topic = '' . $topic . '';
//Then $mess is the message
$mess = '<html><body>Message from ' . $pseudo . ' --> ' . $visitormail . '<br/><br/>' . $message . '</body></html>';
//These headers are very important to send html mail using HTML
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
//Finally we send the mail thanks to the mail() function
mail($mail, $topic, $mess, $headers);
//and we say to the visitor that the mail has been send
echo 'Your message has been sent !';
?>
