Problem with my php contact form...pls help

1

guys i need a little help here pls! few days ago i downloaded a free site template with php contact form and when i uploaded it to the host i tried to send a message, after clicking on the submit button the page went on trying to send the message and stacked out, showing nothing on the screen… I checked out my mail and the message i wrote was there. So my question is, how can I fix this “web stacking” and not showing “message sent” or redirecting on my web page…where is my mistake?
p.s. I m totally novice and if this question looks stupid, my apologies to all members!:slight_smile:
here is the php code that i uploaded with the contact.html form:

<?php

if(!$_POST) exit;

$email = $_POST[‘email’];

//$error[] = preg_match(’/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i’, $POST[‘email’]) ? ‘’ : ‘INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS’;
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([.-][a-z0-9]+))+"."\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.=“Invalid email address entered”;
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array (‘name’,‘email’,‘message’);
$required = array(‘name’,‘email’,‘message’);

$your_email = "lunaticti@yahoo.fr";
$email_subject = "New Message: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "new message:

";

foreach($values as $key =&gt; $value){
  if(in_array($value,$required)){
    if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
      if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; }
    }
    $email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."

";
}
}

if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
    echo 'Message sent!'; 
} else {
    echo 'ERROR!';
}

}
?>

and this is the contact.html:
