What in the World?

[TheAffinity]

Hi there,

 

I am relatively new to PHP and am using it to create a script that will get a user's name and email and send out an email to that person (via the specified email).

 

Take a look at www.seduceadwords.com  In the bottom left corner of the left menu, go ahead and leave it blank and hit "Email my Friend".  You'll see error messages appear and the page reloads itself.

 

Now if you enter names and emails you'll see that the page reloads BUT not completely...  What the heck?  (The email does get sent out though.)  I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on.

 

The header for the form is as follows:

 

--------------

 

echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"", htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), ENT_QUOTES), "?google=", $cow, "\">";

echo '<!-- fieldset><legend>Email this Site to a Friend:</legend -->';

echo "<table>";

echo "<tr>";

...

 

</form>

 

-----

 

Any ideas what I should look into?  Any help would be greatly appreciate, thanks!

echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"" . htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), ENT_QUOTES) . "?google=" . $cow . "\">";
echo '<!-- fieldset><legend>Email this Site to a Friend:</legend -->';
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
</form>

 

Don't enclose functions like that!

If the page is reloading in any form of the word, then the link to it would be correct. I would guess that the problem is in the code of that page, you might want to show some of it.

 

@NArc0t1c, why would you not use the functions like that? Wouldn't it save variable memory?

Can you elaborate?

Conflict, Easy to make a mistake.

I still have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not concerned about memory I've just never heard anyone say not to do that, so I'm interested to hear your opinion.
