PHP_SELF and Submit (on page open always submits)

[programguru]

Well.. I've been screwing around with my code, looking online, and trying to resolve this issue, but it's out of my hands at this point.

Because I am using EVERYTIME my page opens, the form submits! Is there a way around this w/out having to create a second page to process the script?

[b]Form HTML[/b]

[code] <form method="post"
  action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">[/code]
[b]
PHP code[/b]

[code]<?

    if($_POST!=""){
 
            if($intl=="Y")
                $status="Yes";
            else if($intl=="N")
                $status="No";
             
            $message="<b>eeeeeeeeeeee</b> $MyName<br><br>
                    <b>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:</b> $email<br><br>
                    <b>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:</b> $url<br><br>
                    <b>ffffffffffffffffffff: $key1,$key2,$key3,$key4<br><br>
                    <b>ffffffffffffffffffffffff:</b> $status<br><br>
                    <b>ddddddddddddd:</b> $srch1,$srch2,$srch3,$srch4,$srch5<br><br>
                    <b>ffffffffffffffff</b><br><br>
                        $more<br><br>
            ";
 
            $to="[email protected]";
            $subject="Yup its a subject!";
         
            $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
            $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

            $headers .= "From: site.com<[email protected]>\r\n";
            mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
           

                $message1="message1";             
                mail($email2, $subject, $message1, $headers);

$message2="message2";             
                mail($email, $subject, $message2, $headers);
    }

?>[/code]

add
<input type="hidden" name="sub" value="yes">
in your form

and replace
if($_POST!=""){

with
if($_POST['sub'] == "yes"){

[xec]

just paste this script and enjoy ..........  ;)

mail.php
<?

if($_POST['s1'])
{

$to = $_POST['field1'];
$subject = $_POST['field2'];
$message = $_POST['field3'];


if(empty($field1) | empty($field2) | empty($field3))
{
  echo " PLEASE FILL ALL INFO IN THE FORM";
  form();
}
else
{
mail($to, $subject, $message);
echo "<BR>YOUR INFORMATION IS SUCCESSFULLY SAVED..<BR>";
form();
}

}
else
{
form();
}
function form()
{
?>
<form action="<? $PHP_SELF ; ?>" method=POST>

to: <input type="text" maxlength="30" name="field1" value=<?= $field1 ;?> ><BR>
subject: <input type="text" maxlength="256" name="field2" value=<?= $field2 ;?> ><BR>
message: <input type="text" maxlength="256" name="field3" value=<?= $field3 ;?> ><BR>
<input type="submit" value="Submit!" name="s1">

</form>
<?
}
?>

Ok. These were the key ingredients I was missing so badly! Thanks

<? $PHP_SELF ; ?> should be <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>

Wildteen! Thanks for the additional pointer.
