PHP Mail form with validation?

[Ranger56]

I've looked all over for a PHP mail form that has validation and makes sense. Since I am very new to php, does anyone know of a place/script that will do this?

i have one but please tell me what your definition of validation is

Maybe you can adjust this one to fit your needs. It has javascript and server side validation.

Just like checking to make sure that they input an email adress and a message.

I can't figure it out.

The validation doesnt work with my page setup.

I just have

<?php include(" headers.php") ?>

this is the page

<?php include ("footers.php") ?>

<?php if($_GET['contact']) {
$to         = "[email protected]";
$fname       = $_POST['fname'];
$lname       = $_POST['lname'];
$email        = $_POST['email'];
$mesage   = $_POST['mesage'];
$sub        = "Contact email form yoursitename";
$headers    = "From: $fname $lname <$email>\n";  
$headers   .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$mes        = "First Name: ".$fname."\n";
$mes       .= "Last Name: ".$lname."\n";
$mes       .= "Email: ".$email."\n";
$mes       .= "Message: ".$mesage."\n";
if(empty($fname) || empty($lname) || empty($email) || empty($mesage)) {
     echo " <h3><center>Please fill out all the fields</center></h3>";
} elseif(!ereg("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)) {
     print "   <<h3><center>Sorry the email address you entered looks like it's invalid</center></h3>";
} else {
     mail($to, $sub, $mes, $headers);
     print "   <h3><center>Thank you. ".$fname." we will respond within 24-48 hours </center></h3>";
}
}
?>
<form method="post" action="?contact=true">
<div align="center">
First Name:&nbsp;<input name="fname" type="text" size="30"><br>
Last Name:&nbsp;<input name="lname" type="text" size="30"><br>
Email:&nbsp;<input name="email" type="text" size="30"><br>
Message:<br><textarea name="mesage" cols="50" rows="5"></textarea>
<br>
</div>
</form>

you jus need to input it into an html page and save it with e .php extention

I got it working, I just had to put all the code onto the contact page instead of using includes.
