Try to rewrite the tutorial, first of all there is a savety isue (spammers can exploit it), so check http://www.combined-minds.net/tutorials/6/PHP_Security:_Sending_an_email

Second, it's very hard to follow what you're doing here, i assume this is a beginners tutorial. But ask a beginner to follow it, and they'll have big problems.

Don't get me wrong, but i think you should really edit it after reading the URL above and think some more about how to make it more easy to follow.

Thanks for the information Zonax.
But the only way this email form will be spammed is
if the spammer enters the info him/her self. It's not
going to be picked up by a spam/email bot. My code
stops that. Plus the email validation picks up the \
from \n.
As far as being hard to follow I'll have a look and
see what I can do.
Again, thank you for your input.

Thank you Zonax
