contact form, always fails server side validation

I just created a simple contact form using form toolkit.

The form accepts all inputs for client side validation, but server side validation always fails.

commenting out each line of the server side validation in turn, it is the captcha which causes the failure

contactus.php

File also attached.

Thanks

you are using the wrong session variable for the captcha validation

the code to create the captcha image is on your page is:

php:
<img id="capt1"  src="../webassist/captcha/wavt_captchasecurityimages.php?width=200&height=50&field=Security_Code_1&bgcolor=0099FF&transparent=false&bgimage=&gridfreq=25&gridcolor=0066FF&gridorder=behind&noisefreq=50&noisecolor=F5F5F5&noiseorder=behind&characters=5&charheight=&font=fonts/MODERNA_.TTF&textcolor=0000CC" alt="security code" width="200" height="50" />




one of the variables that is passed to the wavt_captchasecurityimages.php page is named "field", the value of this variable is used for creating the captcha session variables name:
field=Security_Code_1

the naming convention of the captcha session variable is:
captcha_<value of field url variable>

so the session variable that is crated on your page is:
captcha_Security_Code_1

in the validation, you are using the captcha_Security_Code session variable, edit the validation to use the captcha_Security_Code_1 session instead.

Great - that fixes it for me.

To be honest, I didn't go through the code too thoroughly, I let the wizard 'do its thing'.

I will try it again on a clean page when I get the time and if the problem is repeated, I'll post back

Thanks again
