Contact Form Sends me Empty emails

Question

I have this Contact form that works well. If someone sends me an email I get it. But for whatever reason I keep getting empty emails sent to me. Since no one could access that page im sure its not someone sending me the empty emails. I dont know what the problem is. Any help?

   <form method="post" id="contactform" name="contactform" action="comment.php" id="ContactForm" name="ContactForm" method="post">

    <fieldset>

    <label>Email *</label>
    <input class="text" type="text" name="email">
    <label>Name *</label>
    <input class="text" type="text" name="name" />

    </fieldset>

    <input class="submit-button" type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

and my contact.php

    <?php


    $email.= "<b>Email     : </b>".trim($_POST['company'])."<br/>";
    $email.= "<b>Name      : </b>".trim($_POST['name'])."<br/>";



    //Replace [email protected] with yours, eg:[email protected]
        //Both on the next line and on the mail function below.
    $headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
    mail(
            "Your Name<myname>", 
            "Header", 
            $email,
            $headers
    );
        header("www.google.com");
?>

the "header" part in my php form is to redirec the user to a page after sending the form.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are probably getting visits from bots. Your script will always trigger an E-Mail, even if no POST data is present.

In your contact script, as a basic measure of protection, add something like

if ($_POST["submit"] != "Send") 
 die();

add further validation (as pointed out in the comments) as needed.

Answer 2

Might be because you don't appear to be validating the form inputs, so it can be submitted blank.

Sometimes I do this to websites (test validation, end up sending blank email), but I usually add a message later to "Validate your input!".

Excuse me if you are indeed doing validation, but that was my gut instinct because I see a lot of people fail to validate even the presence of a required input, let alone the integrity.
