Hi, I did a webpage for a client that involved a series of text boxes asking for specific information such as a person's name, e-mail address, company, etc. Along with a button that would e-mail the information to my client. Whenever I tested the button it seemed to work perfectly, I uploaded the page and thought I was done. But, the other day my client got this email from the site:
Name: rfhopzdgmx rfhopzdgmx

Note: The * line contained HTML link code, I just don't know how to get this site to show it.
Here is the PHP code in the site for the e-mail button.
<?php
//This Sends A Formatted Text Email Using The Text Boxes
if ($_POST['submit']){
//This Gets The Form Data
$fname = $_POST['fName'];
$lname = $_POST['lName'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['co'];
$address1 = $_POST['address1'];
$address2 = $_POST['address2'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$homep = $_POST['homeP'];
$workp = $_POST['workP'];
$cellp = $_POST['cellP'];
$fax = $_POST['fax'];
$comments = $_POST['txaOutputField'];
//echo "<script language = 'javascript'>alert('YAY');</script>";
if ($fname && $lname && $email && $comments){ //Check If Required Fields Are Filled
//This Sets The SMTP Configuration In php.ini
ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.2ndsourcewire.com");
//This Replaces Any Blank Fields With 'None's
if ($company == ""){
$company = "None";
}
if ($address1 == ""){
$address1 = "None";
}
if ($city == ""){
$city = "None";
}
if ($state == ""){
$state = "None";
}
if ($zip == ""){
$zip = "None";
}
if ($homep == ""){
$homep = "None";
}
if ($workp == ""){
$workp = "None";
}
if ($cellp == ""){
$cellp = "None";
}
if ($fax == ""){
$fax = "None";
}
//This Creates The Variables Necessary For The Email
$to = "CLIENT EMAIL WHICH I'M CENSORING";
$subject = "Email from 2ndSourceWire.com";
$from = "From:
[email protected]";
$secondEmail = "MY EMAIL WHICH I'M ALSO CENSORING";
if ($address2 == ""){
$body = "Name: $fname $lname\n".
"Email: $email\n".
"Company: $company\n\n".
"Mailing Address:\n".
"$address1\n".
"$city, $state $zip\n\n".
"Home Phone: $homep\n".
"Work Phone: $workp\n".
"Cell Phone: $cellp\n".
"Fax: $fax\n\n".
"Comments:\n".
"$comments";
}
else {
$body = "Name: $fname $lname\n".
"Email: $email\n".
"Company: $company\n\n".
"Mailing Address:\n".
"$address1\n".
"$address2\n".
"$city, $state $zip\n\n".
"Home Phone: $homep\n".

"Fax: $fax\n\n".
"Comments:\n".
"$comments";
}
//This Sends The Email
mail($to, $subject, $body, $from);
mail($secondEmail, $subject, $body, $from);
echo "<script language = 'javascript'>alert('The email was sent successfully.');</script>";
}
else {
//The Required Fields Are Not Filled
echo "<script language = 'javascript'>alert('Please fill your first name, last name, email address, and your comment or question.');</script>";
}
}
?
I'm a little dumbfounded on how this happened, the client mentioned a couple e-mails of this, so I don't think it is a random glitch. Also, the e-mail address was formatted like an e-mail address, so someone or some program was interpreting the labels next to each text box. I also noticed that the first and last names entered are the same word, even though they were in different text boxes, I'm thinking its some
spam program, but wouldn't they try to advertise something and make money, rather than just spouting out random text? Also, the comments section makes no sense to me at all, the links goto nowhere and they're all perfectly formatted, a random person just screwing around wouldn't know those tags, and a programmer doing it wouldn't bother with it, but also neither would a program.
I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it, I'm drawing a blank here. Anyone have any ideas?
