}
/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))

I found and figured out what the problem is.
The function show_error($myError) was unfinished.
Plus you also needed to add $myemail = "email#example.com"; replacing it with your E-mail address.
Also make sure this page exists on your server header('Location: confirmation.htm');
Tested, working.
<?php
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$yourname = check_input($_POST['yourname'], "Enter your name");
$subject = check_input($_POST['subject'], "Write a subject");
$email = check_input($_POST['email']);
$website = check_input($_POST['website']);
$likeit = check_input($_POST['likeit']);
$how_find = check_input($_POST['how']);
$comments = check_input($_POST['comments'], "Write your comments");
$myemail = "email#example.com"; // Replace with your E-mail address.
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\#[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))
{
$website = '';
}
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "Hello!
Your contact form has been submitted by:
Name: $yourname
E-mail: $email
URL: $website
Like the website? $likeit
How did he/she find it? $how_find
Comments:
$comments
End of message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
$headers="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email\r\n";
mail($myemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: confirmation.htm');
// echo "ok"; // For testing purposes only
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<b>We apologize for the inconvenience, an error occurred.</b><br />
<?php echo $myError; ?>
<?php
exit();
}
