    mail() sends twice!

    I haven't been able to figure this out. I think it must have something to do with how the script is called, but I don't know.... I have looked over every line and it still baffles me.

    This script sends the form data submitted just fine, but it also sends a blank empty form as well, from unknown sender.

    I have abbreviated some of it here, just to see how it is set up.

    form is submitted to a php page with the following:

    at the top is an include file containing the function..
    PHP Code:
    <?php
    include("scripts/send_app.php");
    send_lawapp($_POST);
    ?>
    the include file is a pretty basic function...
    PHP Code:
    function send_lawapp($appData){

    // collect application into vars
    $fullname $appData["FullName"];
    $address1 $appData["Address1"];
    $address2 $appData["Address2"];
    $city $appData["City"];
    $state $appData["State"];
    $zip $appData["ZipCode"];
    $email $appData["email"];
    $dob $appData ["DateofBirth"];
    $hphone $appData["HomePhone"];
    $wphone $appData["WorkPhone"];
    $cphone $appData["MobilePhone"];

    // Just formats all of the $appData here....
    // I don't think the problem is here,
    // because I have tried simply $app = "test"
    // and it still sends duplicate messages...

    $app1 "test";
    $subject "mywebsite.com - Online Application";

    $headers 'MIME-Version: 1.0' "\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' "\n";
    $headers .= 'From: ' $fullname '<' $email '>' "\n";


    mail("[email protected]"$subject$app1$headers);

    so it sends 2 emails always! 1 is blank (contains no submitted data) from unknown the other is fine.

    anyone have any idea where my problem might be?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    any chance you do a loadvariables(num) POST to send the data and then another one with GET hoping to see a response?
    If not, please post an url to look at

    no chance... it's html only...

    url?
    If it helps...
    http://moneyforlawsuits.com/apply.htm

    and here is both files... I am at my wits end... really the client doesn't mind, but it's bothersome.

    ahhh nevermind, can't upload .php files.

    I will convert to .txt and upload if you want to see it.

    You know what? This client has their own external mailserver that I have assigned to their MX record. Maybe that has something to do with it?
