 $emailsent = true;
}
 
function validateform($Name, $Tel, $Email, $Message){
  //Check empty fields
  if ($Name == ''){
    $return['false'] = true;
    $return['nameblank'] = true;
  }

    $return['false'] = true;
    $return['messageblank'] = true;
  }
 
  //Check phone number is digits and spaces only
  if (!is_numeric(str_replace(' ','',$Tel))){
   $return['phone'] = true;
   $return['false'] = true;
  }
 
  //Check email is valid
  if (!preg_match('/^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$/',$Email)){
   $return['email'] = true;
   $return['false'] = true;
  }
 
  //CAPTCHA
  if($_POST['secure'] != $_SESSION['security_number']){
   $return['captcha'] = true;
   $return['false'] = true;
  }
 
  return $return;
 
}
?>

The strange thing is that im using the exact same code in another site which is hosted on another server ! but its error free and my current hosting have told me its not the hosting so im stuck !

Any help would be great

it just means, those indices are not in the $_POST array, either because there are no $_POST data at all (e.g. no form submitted via POST) or the indices are spelled wrong.
test with var_dump($_POST );

kill the email script, if you don’t find the $_POST variables.
