My pet pev is having a **** load of web pages... I'm trying to get a forum to email in a single page instead of 2 pages, but am having troubles

html input page 1

<form method="post" action="sendeail.php" >
        <input type="text" name="visitor" value="name" size="40" maxlength="40" />
        <input type="text" name="visitormail" value="email" size="40" maxlength="40" />
        <input type="text" name="site" id="site" value="website (optional)" size="40" maxlength="40" />
        <textarea name="notes" cols="40" rows="4" >...</textarea>
        <input type="submit" value="+send" /> <input name="reset" type="reset" value="-clear" />
</form>

<?php

$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; 
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail']; 
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
$site = $_POST['site'];

//spam filter
if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT spam my site --Mod Edited--.");
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "Use Back --Mod Edited-- and enter a valid e-mail adress\n"; 
$badinput = "Feedback was NOT submitted\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("");
}
if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "Use Back --Mod Edited-- and fill in all fields.\n";
die (""); 
}

$todayis = date("M j") ;
$subject = $visitor; 
$notes = stripcslashes($notes);

You really should be nicer when showing error messages. And if you choose not to, then please keep the language clean here.

If I were to combine these two pages, I'd just use one great if()else{} statement. You check to see if the form has been $_POST-ed. If it has not, then you show the form; otherwise if it has, then you process it.

if(!isset($_POST) || empty($_POST['submit']))
{
    // Show the contact form...
}
else
{
    // Process the post data.... perhaps set a session value to check for resubmitted
    // forms....
}

my humblest apologizes; I forgot to edit that out when I was putting it here.

& thanks for the instructions

edit: being so new at php i couldn't do it so for reference for other newbs instead, i did

<?php 
if($_GET['contact'] == 0){
echo "
             //form with submit action '?contact=1'
";
}
if($_GET['contact'] == 1){
            //process data
echo "
           //reciept
";
}
