Hi
I am trying to sort out some php validation on my contact form.
At the moment when I click send without any fields entered, the form prompts with unfilled mandatory fields (*), but I still receive the email with empty fields? I don’t know what’s missing.
I am also trying to setup a security question where users have to answer in order to send the form. i.e 6+2 = ?
If I fill the form it sends ok, but the security question is not working yet.
If anyone can point me in the right direction would be great. Thank you.
