Blank emails

PHP
1

I have contact forms on my site and they are in PHP. Almost every day I receive blank email from the forms. I do not understand why this happens because each form has a filter that requires each field to be filled before the user can click “submit”.

Below is a copy of the code of one of the PHP fields and the link to my site. Can any one point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Lee

You can use this function. You will give up e-mail parameters. İf your e-mail is validating, returning true at this function.

Easy come.

Hi,
Try remove the:
mail($admin, $subject, $message);

Then replace the:
if ( $check = false ) {…}
With:
if ( $invalid === true ) {
mail($admin, $subject, $message);
}

You’re validating at the Javascript level, but not the PHP level.

throw this up top.


if(!isset($_POST['FirstName'])) { die(); }

5$ says the blank email you get every day is a search engine crawling over your email page.

This function should use the following as:


<?php
if(mail_control("name@domain.com")==true){
// Your actions...
}
else
{
echo 'Please enter a valid email address.';
}
?>

I can’t see error in your mail function. Use came to be incorrect.
