The way you script is setup it will send out an email every time the page is loaded or refreshed.
Consider placing the part of code that send the email in a condition like...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 if(isset($_POST['Message'])) {

//Send email

}

And it's a good practice to place code like sending email isolated page that doesn't generate any output, then after it completes it's task redirect the page to another that display the result.
(This helps to void resending the email when page is refreshed)

Ok...if I manually refresh the page, it does not send out a blank email. So I am confused as to what you are saying?

Mar 15 '11 #3

Sudaraka

Try adding an echo() just before the mail() to see if the execution reach that in a situation you don't want it to.

Austin Webb

Ok... I am not a php programmer. I stuggled to get this form put together. Are you saying above to scrap your orginal amswer and just add echo () nothing in the parenthises, in front of the mail?

The echo is just for debugging purposes...
That should not be on the production site after you've gotten the app working.

I'm assuming that you want something like this:
(Hover to view image)

I know it can be very frustrating when you don't know exactly what you're doing; which is my experience most of the time :-), but you'll get it eventually.

From the looks of it, you need to clean up your logic a bit and it also appears that the two files are duplicating php, javascript, and html unnecessarily.
