    }

im this code i have tried to create new contact form

but it does not show any link and on opening page directly give page not found

Answer 1

First of all, MENU_CALL_BACK does not defined in Drupal. What you wanted to write is MENU_CALLBACK, which registers a menu item in the menu router. This item won't appear in any visible menu normally. Think of it as a hidden menu item. If you want to make it visible, use MENU_NORMAL_ITEM.

Answer 2

'type' = MENU_CALL_BACK - menu is callback, you should set it to MENU_NORMAL_ITEM or manually create menu in admin page to contact1 page. Refresh cache.

I recommend to you fully read "Pro Drupal Development" from Vandyk, there's examples how to create forms :)
