form sending balnk emails after validation, any fixes?

[eugene3.1]

Hey,

I have a couple of forms which use JS validation and if the validation checks out the forms action is a new php page which sends the form (see code below). It all works fine but occasionally blank emails come through. After researching some people say I shouldn't use client side validation. Is there an easier way by tweaking the code I have rather than changing it all completely?

<script language="php">
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "info@xxxxxxxx.com";
$mailsubj = "mail form";
$mailhead = "From: $Email\n\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "mail:\n\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }
</script>

thanks for any help,

E

Thanks for the reply, it works despite that bit of code not existing, are you saying that if i put it as the below it will stop the blank emails? I fail don't see how it would...

<?php
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "info@xxxxxxxx.com";
$mailsubj = "mail form";
$mailhead = "From: $Email\n\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "mail:\n\n";

while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }
?>
