Q:
PHP contact form problem
Hello,
I have a PHP contact form on my website which was working for a few year up until now. When I try to submit a test message using the contact form, it clears the form and looks as though the page doesn't direct me to my "thank you" page, nor does the message get sent.
Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my code?:

}
else {
