Email form

[Sirrel Squirrel]

How do I make a contact us form, where someone fills out the text box on the page and it then gets emailed to me?

make sure you get one with stripslashes and that eregi thing ...

i learned my lesson for not doing a simple thing like that.

stripslashes and a what?

 

[blade007]

function validate_form($message, $email) {
	if (!eregi('^([._a-z0-9-]+[._a-z0-9-]*)@(([a-z0-9-]+\.)*([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z]{2,3})?)$', $email)) {
		return false;
	} else {
		return true;
	}
}

this thing, it half-validates an email address ... I ain't a php programmer, but it seems to work very well.

and

  $email = stripslashes($_REQUEST['email']);
  $message = stripslashes($_REQUEST['message']);

Ah I see, ideally I need code for the whole thing, basically want

Name
Email
Subject
Message

If anyone has any free time can they do it for me? pretty please
