November 13, 200916 yr Hello people, I have setup some forms on a website - http://www.challengingadvice.co.uk/pages/make-enquiry.html . The forms are working, but from time to time I get an email through with no information. The form structure is as follows: - 1: Person enters information into form page - validated through sry/ajax 2: User is then directed to a holding page stating that the information is being processed with animated gif wheel - this page contains the php that send the form details to me. 3: User is the redirected after 4 seconds to thankyou page. 4: User is then rediredted to hompage 4 seconds after the tankyou page. I don't think that it is anyone filling the form out and having problems as when they have gone through testing they all work fine - is this a robot problem from the likes of yahoo and google trawling my pages? Please help, Regards in advance.
November 13, 200916 yr Could it be someone submitting your form with entering anything in a box? There are PHP codes to prevent submission when a required field is empty. It's possible that it's a bot but they usually leave a spam message. See Chris.R post 11 here for a way to trap a bot http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/27987-spam-using-a-php-form/page__hl__honeypot__fromsearch__1
