Empty fields??

Error message

I sometimes get this errormesage:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/meindert/domains/mrbjquery.nl/public_html/contact.php:5) in /home/meindert/domains/mrbjquery.nl/public_html/WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php on line 71

This happens most times if I turn of Javascript (and so client side validation) and try to post the form with empty fields

the error is occurring as a result of the blank line between php tags at line 4:

3: <?php require_once("php/mimemailer.php"); ?>
4:
5: <?php



delete the blank line at line 4.

Thank you, the form doesn't give any error message again.

Why is it so important to delete the empty line?

Then I have another question, when I turn of javascript in the browser (FF) the form validates correctly, but when I press submit it still posts. I still get an empty e mail on my server.

If tried to overcome this with the following line:

if ($WAFV_Errors == ""){

//post email

}

Somewhere I'm missing the point I guess?

Thanks in advance...

to sent the email you have the following code:
<?php
if ($WAFV_Errors == ""){
mail("meindert@mrbjquery.nl","response to website",$_POST['Bericht'],"From: ".$_POST['email']);
}

?>


the $WAFV_Errors array will be blank when the page loads. You should use the following to trigger the email:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["Default_submit"])) {
mail("meindert@mrbjquery.nl","response to website",$_POST['Bericht'],"From: ".$_POST['email']);
}

?>

so it will only trey to send the email if the form is submitted.

Thanks this worked.

Am I pointing at the right direction that if a form would validate wrong the function PostResult saves the form values to the session. Then redirects to the page again with and that if the querystring is set the form reads the errors again form the session. (I'm just interested)

Thanks again for the great support I get from web assist. I'm still new to php but the products get me up and going fast and it really motivates me. Whenever somebody asks I will gladly tell them....

then form values are stored in the validated entries collection.

this collection does not get created if the form passes validation, but if it does not pass validation, the validated entries collection is created and used for the form values.
