smartin1017 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey guys, I am taking over a project at my job from a previous programmer that is no longer there. He wrote a form that accepts info for estimates which sends out an email to certain people based on what was checked. I am making it so it automatically goes into the 'lead' table in the DB. For some reasson it seems that every couple minutes an automatic entry is made in the db which makes no sense. I logged in today, 12 hours after i left yesterday and there were 1200 new blank entries, but no emails go out saying there are new leads. What could cause this?

cooldude832 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 find which pages you have that query for INSERT into this table and check the code to see if its broken for not validating data, if so someone might be poking you just to annoy you/shut you down. If its inserting blank sets odds are there is a form processing to this page that isn't validating data properly and thus any ping to the page is going to insert it, well if google trolls the page along with every other search bot that can explain things.
