malfunction of contact form
I am not sure this is the right place for my post since I know nothing about webdesign.
I has a website, which is very simple and works well except the contact form, I experienced a lot of spam because it seems the validation of form is not functioning well.
I tested it myself, the validation works well under windows XP, I am not sure for other browser, this is some code I got from website so I really don't know where is the problems.
below is the PHP part of the contact form
<body>
<?php
$field_firstname = $_POST['firstname'];" ".$_POST['lastname'];
$field_emailaddress= $_POST['emailaddress'];
$field_telepohone = $_POST['telephone'];
$field_country = $_POST['country'];
$field_business = $_POST['business'];
$field_comments = $_POST['comments'];
$mail_to = 'info@abc.com';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;
$body_message .= 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$_POST['emailaddress']."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: \n'.$_POST['emailaddress']."\n";
$body_message .= $_POST['telephone']."\n";
$body_message .= $_POST['country']."\n";
$body_message .= $_POST['business']."\n";
$body_message .= $_POST['comments'];
$headers = 'From: '.$_POST['emailaddress'].'\r\n';
$headers = 'Reply-To: '.$_POST['emailaddress'].'\r\n';
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');
<!--
window.location.href = "http://www.abc.com/index.html";
//-->
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. Please check the items required');
<!--

}
