I've made a form in HTML using php for processing so people can sign a petition. The data entered in the form is send by email to the initiator of the petition. It's going pretty well, however, he regularly gets emails containg only two stripes ("- -"). That would be just the symbols in between the birth date. This seems strange to me as I've set all fields as mandatory. I'm new to making forms and using php though.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Here's (most of the) the HTML form. The site is in Dutch, some important words: Geboorte=birth, datum=date, dag=day, maand=month, jaar=year. If you need more information, please let me know.
- Code: Select all
