I just got my contact form up and running I need as many people as possible to fill it out and send it. Post a comment if you did so I can compare it to the contacts. thanks!

Why do you need us to submit the form? Just make up a bunch of names and emails and do it yourself. You'll probably save loads of time by doing so, instead of waiting for us to do it.

I hope you have server side validation and not just javascript

chanman

What do you mean by server side validation?

GeneralKnowledge

Your validating with javascript which is client side. Are you validating with something like PHP which is server side.

Your form accepts an emails like:
hello@hello.hello
hello@hello.hello.hello

Which arn't valid

chanman

I've never done that before how do I do it.

GeneralKnowledge

in the PHP you use to send the e-mail it's something like

<?php
/*Complicated regex which validates emails*/
$regex = "\[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\";

/*Get the email address the user entered
$email = $_POST['Email']; 

/*if the email is valid. then this is true*/
if(preg_match($regex,$email)){
/*code to send the email in the contact form*/
}

?>

This is ofcourse assuming that you are using PHP to send the data to you.

Best email phishing ever!

Heh, like others have said, just spam it with random info to test it.

Then throw in some validation, good to go. :)

Sorry for asking people to fill it out I didn't think about making up my own stuff. And i Will try the validation thanks.
