problem with checkbox

Ok so i've nearly finished my site and i'm left with 2 small annoying problems. The first one is that it doesn't matter whether or not someone checks the terms and conditions checkbox, the form still submits.

The second is that when someone enters a £ sign in a field, when i recieve the email after its submitted the £ sign has a capital A with an arrow above it in front of the £ sign.



Hopefully 2 easy to fix problems, here is the code for my page. I know its bad in many ways but it works and looks fine when uploaded.



<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

extract($_POST);

if (!file_exists("../config.php"))
{
$host = $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST ];
$path = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$file_path = $path['dirname'];

exit;
}
include "../config.php";


if ($sendto_email == "changeme@example.com")
{

exit;
}

if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$", $senders_email))
{
$error = "1";
$info_error .= $lang_invalidemail . "<br>";
}
if (empty ($security_code))
{
$error = "1";
$info_error .= $lang_nocode . "<br>";
}

if ($terms != 1) {
if ($senders_name != '') {
$error = "1";
$info_error .= "Please accept the terms and conditions and try again";
}
}

elseif ($security_code != $randomness)
{
$error = "1";
$info_error .= $lang_wrongcode . "<br>";
}
if ($showlink != "no")
{
$link = "<br><span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Powered by <a href=\"http://www.bellonline.co.uk/web-services/free/scripts/php-mailer-script/\" title=\"free PHP mailer script\">BELLonline PHP mailer script</a></span>";
}
if ($error == "1")
{
$info_notice = "<span style=\"color: " . $error_colour . "; font-weight: bold;\">" . $lang_error . "</span><br>";

if (empty ($submit))
{
$info_error = "";
$info_notice = $lang_notice;
}

function Random()
{
$chars = "ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWZYZ23456789";
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$i = 0;
$pass = '' ;
while ($i <= 4)
{
$num = rand() % 32;
$tmp = substr($chars, $num, 1);
$pass = $pass . $tmp;
$i++;
}
return $pass;
}
$random_code = Random();
$mail_message = stripslashes($mail_message);

print "<form name=\"BELLonline_email\" method=\"post\" style=\"margin: 0;\" action=\"\">


";

echo "<strong><font color=\"FF0000\">".$info_error."</font></strong>";

Dude i dont know PHP but i may help you :

$info_error .= "Please accept the terms and conditions and try again";

Try deleting that (.),or try

if ($terms != 1) {
$info_error .= "Please accept the terms and conditions and try again";
}

or

if ($terms = 0)

maybe that will fix your problem,like i said before i dont know PHP so dont blame me if it doesnt work

And about the second problem, you can make it to support ASCII characters by using this :

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
