function validate_form_items()
{
global $msg_min_chars, $msg_max_chars;
$msg_chars = “{“.$msg_min_chars.”,”.$msg_max_chars.”}”;
$form_items = array(
“you” => array(
“regex” => “/^([a-zA-Z ‘-]+)$/”,
“error” => “Name appears to be in inproper format”,

$errors = array();
foreach($form_items as $item_name => $item_props)
{
if (!preg_match($item_props[“regex”], trim($_POST[$item_name])))
{
$errors[] = $item_props[“error”];
}
}
return $errors;
}
function email( $to, $subject, $message)
{
$headers = “From: “.$from.”rn”;
$headers .= “Reply-To: “.$from.”rn”;
$headers .= “Return-Path: “.$from.”rn”;
$headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0’ . “rn”;
$headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1’ . “rn”;
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) ) {
echo “Thanks for your inquiry. Your message was received. <br>We will get back to your shortly.”;
} else {
echo “Your message could not be sent at this time. Please try again.”;
}
}
function print_error($errors)
{
foreach($errors as $error)
{
echo $error.”<br>”;
}
}
function form_process()
{
global $to, $subject;
$errors = validate_form_items();
if(count($errors) == 0)
{
email($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
print_error($errors);
}
form_process();
?>
Any help would be most appreciated
