Question

Hi there I have edited some code I have found on-line and everything works besides the validation. It always seems to send an email even when all fields are blank on the contact form that I’ve created. It is definitely an easy fix but I’m new to this so any help means a great deal to me!!

Thanks.

Heres the code Im using for the php script:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

<?php
// Contact subject
$subject ="$Email Enquiry"; 
// Details
$message=("$cComment") ; 

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$cEmail"; 
// From 
$header="from: $cName <$mail_from>"; 

// Enter your email address
$to ='[e-mail]'; 

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);

// Check, if message sent to your email 
// display message "We've recived your information"
if($mail_from != "Email"){
header('Location:thanksemail.php');
}
else {
header('Location:emailfail.php');
}
?>

You haven’t got any checking code. The code that sends the mail is $send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);
The checking must be before this code

Try this

if($subject!="" && $cComment!="" && $cEmail!="" && $cName!="" && $mail_from!=""){
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message, $header);

if($mail_from != "Email"){
header('Location:thanksemail.php');
}
else {
header('Location:emailfail.php');
}


}else{
header('Location:emailfail.php');
}
