The form required some values that you did not seem to provide

[skykuhl]

Greetings,

I get this error upon submitting even though all required fields are filled.

If I leave the required fields unfilled I will get the same error but it will list the two required fields.

If I fill the required fields I still get the same error but below that line it is just blank.

The error e-mail I recieve shows the two fields from the sample form but I have searched my current form and I can't find any reference to those fields.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Yes, it's quite interesting behaviour!

Do you have FORM_INI_FILE set in FormMail's configuration?

If so, perhaps you have a specification in the INI file that's triggering this.

Otherwise, I think I will need to investigate exactly what's going on. In this case, please send me access details to your server using this secure form:
https://secure.rootsoftware.com/~tectite/sendsecret.php

or just email me your copy of FormMail to start with (scripts-new/formmail_ho.php).

I was hoping that you would say "this always happens, it is a simple fix"

I sent you the form via e-mail and my server info on the secure form.

Thanks very much.

Hi,

A lot of the code outside of FormMail's configuration section has been added to or modified.

Changing the logic like this will cause problems.

I've used the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade your copy to version 8.16. This is the easiest way to copy across your configuration settings.

Your original has been saved as formmail_ho-orig.php

There was a problem in that you'd specified your email address in "recipients" but not allowed this address in $TARGET_EMAIL.

So, I've fixed that.

I've tested the form and it seems to be working as expected now.

I think the basic problem was the changes you'd made to the FormMail logic.

Thanks very much. I should have started with a fresh copy of the script.

My bad. Thanks for your help.

One last thing. I noticed that in my response e-mail it still shows the fields

realname and email.

Hi,

Yes, FormMail is being "helpful".

You can exclude these by telling FormMail that you don't want them in the body of the email.

Just add this hidden field to your HTML form:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="Exclude=realname;email" />

If you're planning on using a template for your form results, then you don't need to do the above because the template says what fields to include.
