terryds Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I created a form that willl automatically send what it's filled in via email.. What is annoying is when i don't fill in the form and click submit.. The mail function also works... Can you tell me how to make it not send anything when the form isn't filled in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birbal Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 you can use isset(), empty() to determine that inputs does not submited empty. you should always validate every input from user before you use it in system. http://php.net/issethttp://php.net/empty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birbal Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) if(!empty($_POST['subject'] && !empty($_POST['message']) //List of required field{ //Process data mail(....);}else{//show error} link on post 2 will help you to get idea how does these functions work.
