[thelist] PHP_SELF / Contact Form

[DAVOUD TOHIDY]

Hi,
I have an index.php file which is placing and replacing some pages such as contact page within itself dynamically using pId and a configuration file which contains an array like:
$mypages = array("0x12" => "contact.php",// etc.) 

// mypages/contact.php

I have a contact form and wrote the following to process and validate the form inside contact.php file :
<?php
error_reporting(6143);
if(isset($_POST['btnshoot'])) {

        $name = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['name'])))));
        $subject = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['subject'])))));
        $tel = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['tel'])))));
        $com = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['com'])))));
       $email = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['email'])))));
       $message = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['message'])))));
       $captcha = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST['captcha'])))));

        $valid = true;
        $error = "";
        $errMsg = "";

       if(!preg_match("#^[a-zA-Z]+$#", $name)){
       $errMsg .="Invalid Entry, Please enter only letters";
       $valid = false;
       exit;
      
      } else if(strlen($name > 20)){
       $error.="Please enter a name less than 20 characters!<br />";

} else {

$errMsg.="Sorry There was a Problem. please try again <br />";

} 
}
}
?>
here it is the html:
<form name="mycontactForm"  action="&lt;?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?&gt;" method="get">

I get the error : The requested URL /****/< was not found on this server.
and this is in the address bar : www.myurl.com/****/<?name=&subject=&tel=&com=&email=&message=&captcha=&btnSend=Send+Message

Could someone help me to debug this please?

Thanks
