Hi,
I got a php script for a "tell a friend form", tested it and everything went
fine. Then I adapted it to my site, tested and everything went fine again.
But suddenly the thing stopped working and I suppose it was me who
accidentally erased or changed something.
When I click on "submit" I get a "500 internal server error"
Here's the code in question:
html form:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Refer a friend to mysite</title>
</head>
<body>
<html>
<head>
<title>Refer a friend to mysite</title>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function reset() {
document.refer.name.value="";
document.refer.email.value="";
document.refer.friendmail1.value="";
document.refer.friendmail2.value="";
}
function validate() {
if (document.refer.friendmail1.value.length==0) {
alert("please enter your friend's email address");
return false;
}
if (document.refer.email.value.length==0) {
alert("please enter your email address");
return false;
}
if (document.refer.name.value.length==0) {
alert("please enter your name");
return false;
}
document.refer.submit()
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="reset()" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

<table width="450" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

checkfields()">
<table border="0" width="370" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt">

<td width="181">Your name:
