1. If I type the correct captcha code but wrong email address, name and comments, the next page on email_form.php shows
We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form your submitted. These errors appear below.
The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.
The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.
Please go back and fix these errors.
//But if I type everything correct but not typing the correct captcha code shows the next page this:
Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.
Showing this makes adding captcha on my website useless and I don't know what is wrong here since I'm new at php. So could you explain where I did wrong and how to fix it???????
Thank you in advance!!
