I have a php form mailer on my site.

When I submit a form, even if i leave the fields blank it returns like this:

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 09:15 AM.


Name:

Email:

Company:

etc.

etc.

Basically it returns the form inputs blank.

However this only happens when I fill out the form. It seems I'm getting business on my site but when people fill out the form it comes back only like this:

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 09:15 AM.

It tells me that a form was submitted but not even the blank form input categories come back. Even when I leave the form blank I can't recreate this.

Does anybody know whats going on or can help me?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

How about the HTML? Are you giving each control names?

Well I don't really know anything about php, I just copied the script.

Somebody said it might be somebody trying to use GET method to do something to my site?

I'm not really sure but does that mean anything to you?

What does the URL to the PHP script look like? If it has a question mark in it (?) then it's GET.

Print the elements from your form to the browser to see if it's getting the right data. I think the server is trying to mail GET data, and your form is sending POST data.

<form action="mailer.php" method="post" id="order" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Check if your getting the correct data by printing to the browser, all of the form data.

Just use echo.

Like:

<?php
echo $_POST['name'];
?>

This will help you be able to find out if your sending the data, and receiving it properly.
