in response to the note below. javascript is NOT a good choice for validations, sice it can be very easily bypassed. A user coud read the HTML source code and create another html file with the same form but no validation, and then input the data from there, and spoofing the HTTP Referrer is relatively easy. To prevent DoS attacks you could implement a CAPTCHA, but CAPTCHA's are not flawless either. Just my thoughts. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60083 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60083&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60083&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
