Simple Contact Form Script with Password Box
I am trying to create a simple password check on my contact form and I cannot seem to make it do anything but fail on the password check.
I have attached my php code and my form code, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

The same problem, with or without the correct password I get "Robot Alert!" as if if ($_POST['norobots'] != $password) is always failing regardless.

Here is my error, it looks like it's not even reading my "norobots" form field.
Array ( [name] => eggstoast [email] => my@email.com [company] => undefined [subject] => test [message] => message ) Robot Alert!
Array ( [name] => eggstoast [email] => my@email.com [company] => undefined [subject] => test [message] => message ) Robot Alert!

I did remove a ")" from the code to avoid syntax error and used print_r($_POST); to see what I am passing. The script is still entirely missing or ignoring the "norobots" part of my form.

I figured it out I needed to add my norobots to my header code. Thanks for helping me narrow it down.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$('#contactform').submit(function(){
var action = $(this).attr('action');
$.post(action, {
name: $('#name').val(),
email: $('#email').val(),
company: $('#company').val(),
subject: $('#subject').val(),
message: $('#message').val(),
norobots: $('#norobots').val()
},
function(data){
$('#contactform #submit').attr('disabled','');
$('.response').remove();
$('#contactform').before('<p class="response">'+data+'</p>');
$('.response').slideDown();
if(data=='Message sent!') $('#contactform').slideUp();
}
);
return false;
