I am trying to get myContact Us form on my web project to work with php so that when the full name and email address is entered with comments it sends me an email and then displays a success message and if they fail to fill in the form them an error message displays saying for them to try again. My code is not working and I dont really understand why, it just displays with error message no matter what even when all info is entered. this is my php code below: -
`<?php`
$name = $email = "";
if (isset ($_POST ['fullname']))
$name = fix_string ($_POST ['fullname']);
if (isset ($_POST ['email'])) $email = fix_string ($_POST ['email']);
$email_to = "my@eamiladdress.com";
$email_subject = "Question asked";

Can anyone please help me and advise on where I am going wrong.
I have made some changes to my code as suggested. I am at a loss I not really understanding why it isnt working, it is also not using the css style sheet. below is the new edited code: -
<?php
if (isset($_POST ['fullname']) || isset($_POST ['email'])):
$name = fix_string($_POST ['fullname']);
$email = fix_string($_POST ['email']);
$email_to = "my@email.com";
$email_subject = "My E-Learning Tool Query";
$fail = validate_fullname($name);
$fail += validate_email($email);
if($fail!=""):
?>
