My E-mail Form Is Not Working On Yahoo (amateur)	View Content

Hello, PHP Freaks,

So I have my website built with RapidWeaver, and built a PHP form page, and it works fine with a test host. However, I uploaded to Yahoo Small Business and the submissions aren't getting through. I heard that Yahoo is quite problematic when it comes to PHP...I called their help line and they told me that I needed to include the following in my form:

<form  name="Form0" method="POST" action="http://us.xx.px.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=YahooID&to=mail@domianname.com&confirm=index.html&error=" onSubmit="return checkForm0()">

However, I have 2 php files, application.php and mailer.php.

application.php:
Quote

<?php
// Start session.
session_start();

// Set a key, checked in mailer, prevents against spammers trying to hijack the mailer.
$security_token = $_SESSION['security_token'] = uniqid(rand());

if ( ! isset($_SESSION['formMessage'])) {
$_SESSION['formMessage'] = 'Fill in the form below to submit an application.';
}

if ( ! isset($_SESSION['formFooter'])) {
$_SESSION['formFooter'] = 'A scholarship is also available, please contact us for more details.';
}

if ( ! isset($_SESSION['form'])) {
$_SESSION['form'] = array();
}

function check($field, $type = '', $value = '') {
$string = "";
if (isset($_SESSION['form'][$field])) {
switch($type) {
case 'checkbox':
$string = 'checked="checked"';
break;
case 'radio':
if($_SESSION['form'][$field] === $value) {
$string = 'checked="checked"';
}
break;
case 'select':
if($_SESSION['form'][$field] === $value) {
$string = 'selected="selected"';
}
break;
default:
$string = $_SESSION['form'][$field];
}
}
return $string;
}

Now I'm a little bombarded with this code, since I am an amateur web-builder and I don't have much experience modifying PHP. I was just wondering how I can integrate the code given to me into my existing PHP files. The website is www.northshoreculinaryschool.com and my form is under Curriculum > Application.

I can provide the files if anyone wishes.

Any help is greatly appreciated! If you can help me through this, you're a lifesaver!
