Hello Jim,
I noticed a response telling you to use JavaScript to validate your
form input.
Personally I browse with my JavaScript turned off to avoid pop-up ads
so I don't believe it is a good idea to try to validate information
using it.
Here is an excerpt from my Sams book that could help you with
solving the problem:
print_header;
my $return=param("return_addr");
if (! defined $return or ! $return) {
print "You must supply an e-mail address<P>";
exit;
}
my $subject=param("subject");
if (! define $subject or ! $subject) {
print "You must supply a subject<P>;
exit;
}
Of course you will still have to verify that the info is in the proper
format yourself. But, I believe that by doing this way, you will be
assured of ACTUALLY getting ALL the form data in the first place.
