PHP professionals (Nancy, if you are listening),
I FINALLY have a working form, thanks to the great tutorial by Nancy O'Shea. But for my intent and purpose all I want is a Comment form. I know how to get rid of the form fields I don't need (Name, Email, Phone number), but I don't know enough of PHP (yet, still learning) to work out what to strip from the following code. I have tried removing portions of the following (pasted here in full), but I think I'm still missing something (or not missing something, as the case may be).
Any help appreciated!
Dave

} else {
$result='<div class="alert alert-danger"><h2><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-warning-sign"></span> Sorry there was a form processing error.</h2> <h3>Please try again later.</h3></div>';
}
}
}
//sanitize data inputs
function test_input($data) {
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
$data = (filter_var($data, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
return $data;
}
//end form processing script
?>
This is the html I have with unwanted Name, Email, Phone fields removed:
