Hello all,

This is my first post here - but I have a feeling it won't be my last.

I have just had to tackle my first contact form - well I haven't tacked it yet - but hopefully with your help. I'm using the PHP Form Mailer - phpFormMailer v2.1 script - have the following problem.

Whenever you first try to use the contact form - i.e. on first open of the browser you get the error message regardless, but if you then hit the back btn to try again it works fine.

Could it have something to do with the fact that the site is hosted through a c-panel thing (whateva that really means) and that the referrer bits are then stuffed up.

Any pointers would be really appreciated - I have exhausted google and tried deleting and modifying parts of the script with no luck at all. Please Help.

the contact form is www.diamondcreekestate.com.au/contact.htm and the php is here: www.diamondcreekestate.com.au/contact.php.

Is it easier for me to post the whole php bit in here?

I have already been told that I should be using php for the form validation but want to try to get past this first.

Thankyou. x

Me again.

Looks like it is def this bit - not in live currently...

PHP Code:

$ref_page=$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];

$valid_referrer=0;

if($ref_page==$valid_ref1) $valid_referrer=1;

elseif($ref_page==$valid_ref2) $valid_referrer=1;

if(!$valid_referrer)

{

 echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\"><!--\n alert(\"$error_msg\");\n";

 echo "top.location.href = \"$valid_ref1\"; \n// --></script>";

 exit;

} 

Variables:

PHP Code:

$valid_ref1="http://diamondcreekestate.com.au/contact.htm";// chamge "Your--domain" to your domain

$valid_ref2="http://diamondcreekestate.com.au";// chamge "Your--domain" to your domain

$replyemail="hlhale@ozemail.com.au";//change to your email address 

Help pls - i don't get it. Thanks.

Include all of the actual URL in the variable (www was missing) -

PHP Code:

 $valid_ref1="http://www.diamondcreekestate.com.au/contact.htm";
