Help with validation

Chad Lupkes

Hi everyone,

I need help with a simple form validation. The form I'm using has
been the target of some spammers, and I'm wondering what else I can
do. I have a very simple validation, checking for blanks, and found
an additional zipcode validation form here:

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/val-zip-code.html

I tried combining them, and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm not
much of a programmer, so I need help. Here's the page:

Can someone help me at least make the zipcode validation work?

Thanks!

Focus on server-side validation contact_success.php, that way you can
keep spammers out. Client-side validation does not help as anyone can
disable client-side JavaScript or simply directly post to your
contact_success.php without even using a browser.

Good point. I'll look into PHP, which is the server-side script that
I'm most familiar with.

Thanks!
