    header( "Location: http://andrew.comyr.com/index.php?p=1_17" );
  }
  else {


  mail( "littleoly@hotmail.co.uk", "Advertisment Enquiries",
    $website, $imageurl, $adforus, $aboutusersite, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://andrew.comyr.com/index.php?p=1_16" );
 }
?>

Thanks in advance,

At first glance, I see that you are misusing the mail function.
You're spending too much parameters(7) to this function, it is normal when you pass three or four parameters:

PHP Code:

bool mail  (  string $to  ,  string $subject  ,  string $message  [,  string $additional_headers  [,  string $additional_parameters  ]] ) 


I would add the following line just before calling the mail function.

PHP Code:

else {
  $message =$website ."\n".$imageurl."\n".$aboutusersite;
  mail( "yourmail(at)yourmailserver.co.uk", "Advertisment Enquiries",
    $message, "From: $email" );
 header( "Location: http://andrew.comyr.com/index.php?p=1_16" );
 }
?>

You are a lot better off not posting it here (just cross it out) as the real offenders are Mail Searcher Bots by Evil People(c), not forum users.

yourname (at) sitename dot com is one option to avoid the spam bots

Yes, but that's for when we need to know your email address, but here we don't, so simply replacing it with meyemail@mydomain.com is a superior option.

(note that when such a method as you are mentioning becomes common, spam bots can be adjusted to pick up on it anyway, so the best suggestion is to use some creativity - use a mix of "(", "<", "[", "-" and other symbols you think are clear, replace both the @ and the .s, if you are using a common email provider, leave out the the TLD (eg. [at> gmail - without the com-part), and one of the more extreme meaures is to add something like <remove this> or -NoSPaM- to your email address, which humans can pick up, but bots can't)

I have tried them but no joy would one of you be able to create a .php script for the form?

Have a look at who I've write this contact form here and just edit it to suit your needs: http://www.free-installations.info/f...tact-form.html

Ok thanks for the help. i got it working ...well sort of, It send me an email but all the email contains is
, , ,

Three commas... could nayone tell me why? also could you tell me if its possible how to add more parameters because i need 7 but i only have 5

PHP Code:

<?php
$subject ="Advertise from your site";
$message="$webaddress, $image, $adforus, $aboutusersite";
$mail_from="$email";
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";
$to ='littleoly@hotmail.co.uk';
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
if($send_contact){
echo "Thank you for submiting your request.";
}
else {
echo "Unfortunately an error occurred while trying to send this message. Please try again later";
}
?>

Replace the above with this:

PHP Code:

$message="$webaddress", "$image", "$adforus", "$aboutusersite"; 


Just thought from first glance :/
