contact - send to formmail after initial php checks

[MrMagooba]

Hi, I have a contact page that, when submit is clicked it checks the inputs
then outputs to a "read only" version of the input form fromwhich the email
can be sent.
How would I go about changing the script so when the submit button is
clicked, it'll check, and if it passes the requirements, it'll be sent (to
the formmail script)?

You can see my coding at:

(it's a bit rough! and don't worry about the $expa/b stuff - that's there
for a seperate reason)

Thanks

Hi

I've made a couple of changes to your script, you can take a look at

I strongly recommend that you change your code from using $email to
$_GET['email'],
http://nz.php.net/manual/en/language...predefined.php and the
security sections document why :-)

Thanks for the *tweaking* - it shall be used :-). But it still posts
the -passed- original input into a read only form for the user to click the
submit button. What I want to do is, if the inputted details passes my
tests, send the mail, not display in a read only version for the user to
click the submit button again. I really want to use PHPFormMail to send the
mail as it is tried and tested, but at the moment I am scouring the 'net for
mail() tut's so I can replace the read only form with a send mail routine.
