Form Help Needed Please

[Learning1]

Could someone help me (walk me through) what is wrong or what is going wrong with my form.

Background Info:
I built a very large site using Serif Webplus 9.0 (drag & drop).
I originally used Frontpage for my form(s) but was told to drop Frontpage for numerous reasons.
So now, I am attempting to make a new form using Dreamweaver or NVU.

The major functions of the form is supposed to:
1. Send the filled out details to an email address. (photosaroundtown@lifearoundtown.com)
2. Send an uploaded picture file somewhere where I can access it for resizing & future posting.
3. Simultaneously redirect to another page in my site upon pushing the submit button. (www.lifearoundtown.com/thankyoupage.html)
4. Have the banner that I created actually show up at the top of the form to match the site.

Other notes:
I have been told by the creator that the code is correct. It is possible that I am not doing something else that needs to be done? It might be something little that most people take for granted & do all the time.
Any help you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that I don't know code at all & need to be slowly walked through the process.
Thanks in advance

Here is the code:

No one will be able to tell you what is wrong since you have not said what isn't working with the form.

You have also posted the entire form. Good etiquette in these and other forums is to post only parts of your code that you are having trouble with rather than posting an entire code with hundred plus lines and saying "help me with this".

Take a look at the form, remove everything from it that you don't understand. Get a basic form working. If you don't know how to get a basic form working with php and mysql then do a search (Kevin Yank has a good book out and I think four chapters are available online) and find such an example.

Once you have a basic form that is working then add error checking to it.

Trying to run in the Boston Marathon when you have first started a fitness program is possible. It isn't likely though. It looks like you are doing something similar in having a large form, trying to do many things when you don't necessarily know the basics.

Post back here when you have simplified the form and have a specific question about a specific part of the code. Then work through it by adding other needed pieces as you understand them.
