Oh, you should also think about some other things, such as validation.
Is realname only alpha characters? Is email in the form of a real email
address? At a bare minimum, are they not empty:
if (empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['realname']) ||
empty($_POST['feedback']))
{
echo 'You must complete all required fields!';
// show form again
}
