Thanks for viewing.
I'm new to php and have a piece of code that I modified to try to use for a simple "email submission". I need help figuring out a problem with the code.
Everything works fine except it returns back a "undefined" string after the email is submitted. I get the email and the "email error checker" works but it does not return back the "Thank you".
any help would be great.
<?php
function emailOK($str) {
if(empty($str)) return false;
if(!ereg("@",$str)) return false;
if(!ereg("\.",$str)) return false;
list($user, $host) = explode("@", $str);
if((empty($user)) || (empty($host))) return false;
$badChars = "[ ]+| |\+|=|[|]|{|}|`|\(|\)|,|;|:|!|<|>|%|\*|/|'|\"|~|\?|#|\\$|\\&|\\^|www[.]";
return !eregi($badChars, $str);
}
function readTextFile($file){
if(!($fp=@fopen($file,"r"))) return false;
$fileContent="";
while (!feof($fp)) {
$fileContent.= fgets($fp, 1024);
}
if(!fclose($fp)) return false;
return($fileContent);
}
function sendMsg($to, $toEmail, $sub, $msg, $from, $fromEmail) {
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n"; //The mailer name
$headers .= "From: ".$from."<".$fromEmail.">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: ".$from."<".$fromEmail.">\r\n";
$recipient = empty($to) ? $toEmail : $to."<".$toEmail.">";
return mail($recipient, $sub, $msg, $headers);
}
function cleanUpData($data){
$data=trim($data);
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
$data=stripslashes($data);
}
return($data);
}

return true;
} else {
