Re: [LUG] PHP e-mail

["Ryan Carson" <ryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ahhh...you're sending to googlemail eh?

Some (MOST) mail providers have strong dislikes to automated php emails :)

Hotmail is infamous for this.

Although, really, there's lots of guides on t'internet to sort you through
sending all sorts of mail via php :)

Here's some basic bounds checking for you.

$name =
htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST['name']),ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
$email =
htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST['email']),ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');



Not the most secure, you'll wawnt to  validate the email further with
regular expressions but I'm not giving out all my code :D

Kind regards as always.
