how can i add Email Text Box on my website home page?

Here is a php example of an email form:

php code:

<?php
$sendMessage = false;

if (isset($_REQUEST['message']) && isset($_REQUEST['email']) && isset($_REQUEST['subject']))
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
if (strlen($_REQUEST['message']) > 0 && strlen($_REQUEST['email']) > 0 && strlen($_REQUEST['subject']) > 0)
{
$sendMessage = true;
}
}

if ($sendMessage)
{
//something@example.com need to be changed to your email-adress
mail("something@example.com", $subject, $message, "From:" . $email);
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}
else
{?>
<form method="post" action="">
<span>From Email:</span><input name="email" type="text" /><br />
<span>Mess. Subject:</span><input name="subject" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send Message" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>

Hi,

I wish to know why not some validation form or filters can be added? Try this with the above suggested PHP code.

/ Begin Form Validation

// Filter Input
function spamcheck($field)
{
//filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail
//address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL
$field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

//filter_var() validates the e-mail
//address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}

//Error Handler Function
function customError($errno, $errstr)
{
echo "<b>Error:</b> [$errno] $errstr<br />";
die();
}

//set error handler
set_error_handler("customError",E_USER_WARNING);

// Checks if Information Exists
if (!isset($_POST['name']))
trigger_error("No name entered",E_USER_WARNING);

if (!isset($_POST['email']))
trigger_error("No email entered",E_USER_WARNING);

if (!isset($_POST['comment']))
trigger_error("No comment entered",E_USER_WARNING);


// Check If The Email Address Is Invalid
$mailcheck = spamcheck($_POST['email']);
if ($mailcheck==FALSE)
trigger_error("The email you entered is not valid".E_USER_WARNING);


// Get User's IP Address. This Is Optional
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
}
elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
else {
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}


$message = "Name: ".$_POST['name']."\n\n" .
"Email: ".$_POST['email']."\n\n" .
"Message:\n" .
$_POST['comment']."\n\n" .
"---------------------------------\n" .
"Sender IP: ".$ip
;


$message = wordwrap($message, 70);


// Create Email Headers
$emailfrom = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Message from ".$_POST['name'];
if (!mail("------THE EMAIL TO SEND TO GOES HERE------", "$subject", $message, "From: $emailfrom" ))
echo ("<p>Our server encountered a problem with your submission<br/> \n"
);
else
echo ("<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><p>Thank you!<br/> \n"
);


<form action="------THE URL OF THE PAGE YOU'RE USING THIS ON GOES HERE------" method="post">
<fieldset>
<label>Name</label><br /><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="32" /><br/><br />
<label>Email</label><br /><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="32" /><br/><br />
<label>Message</label><br /><textarea name="comment" cols="100" rows="8" id="comment" class="bodytext"></textarea><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>
