  $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
  $phone = $_REQUEST['phone'];
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'];
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
  $headers = "\r Name: $name \r\n";
  $headers .= "Email: $email \r\n";
  $headers .= "Telephone: $phone \r\n";
  $headers .= "Message: $message \r\n";
  $today = date("j, n, Y");
  mail( '[email protected]', "Request from xxxx.co.uk", 'IP: '.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] .$headers. 'Date: '.$today);

i will formalise my question: how can i stop empty emails? thanks

$_REQUEST['email'] will be set even if it is empty.  Try:

if (!empty($_REQUEST['email']))

[ginerjm]

check if email is empty before processing?

 

if ($email == '') 

{

  echo "you didn't provide a message";

  echo "<br><a href='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "'>Try Again</a>";

  exit();

}

Lots of ways. It would be best to do additional checking to make sure email is valid, phone is valid etc.  But heres a quick easy one:

if(count(array_filter($_REQUEST)) == count($_REQUEST)) {

if (!empty($_REQUEST['password']))

I don't know what you called your 4 digit code, but assuming its 'code' then try this:

if(count(array_filter($_REQUEST)) == count($_REQUEST) && strtoupper($_REQUEST['code']) == '7D6Z') {
