script executeion problem - executes twice for no reason - help

Please excuse my ignorance, this is probably a simple problem but I have no idea what to do next. I wrote the following to send an automated response to users that fill out a form, select submit and that triggers the conditional "if" statement and then the script sends an HTML based newsletter to the user. The script does work, but it sends out TWO newsletters instead of one and I have no idea why. I have used the code below in several different forms and it does the same thing each time so I would assume the code is the problem. if() {$filename = "../includes/news.html"; $to = "$email"; $subject = "Newsletter"; $fd = fopen ($filename, 'r'); $message = fread ($fd, fileSize("../includes/news.html")); fclose ($fd); $headers = "To: $email\nFrom: $from\nReply-To: $reply_address\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
