[Phpwm] Simple PHP Contact Form

[Alex Mace]

Nah, I didn't get caught by that, fortunately because I've never  
really used the ereg libraries, plus I had compiled PHP myself before  
I upgraded.

We did get caught in work though when someone upgraded to 5.3 on one  
of the boxes we run scripts on though as a lot of our legacy code base  
does use ereg...
