There is an error before there:
In the line
entry = name + '|' + email + '|' + address + '|' + telephone + '|' +
IpAddress + '|' + Time + "\n"
None of the names are defined except IpAddress and Time. Everything
else has "the_" prepended when it is defined earlier in the code, but,
as you can see, not in the line were they are accessed.
