    <p>I've tried to fix this problem, or find a similar problem, but I'm still scratching my head over this one.</p> <p>I have an HTML form that I'm validating with a jQuery function, then passing it to a PHP script for mailing. The problem I'm having is once the functions run, there's a duplicate mail being sent, but the second one is blank, none of the data values are passed.</p> <p><strong>The jQuery:</strong></p> <pre><code>$("#submit").click(function(){ var quit = false; if(validateName()){ name = validateName(); $("label#name_error").fadeOut(0); $("label#name_error2").fadeOut(0); } else if (validateInput('name')){ $("label#name_error").fadeOut(0); $("label#name_error2").fadeIn(250); quit = true; } else { $("label#name_error").fadeIn(250); $("label#name_error2").fadeOut(0); quit = true; } // several more validation checks for the other fields follow. if(quit){ return false; } var dataString = "name=" + name + "&amp;email=" + email; //and other fields inserted here $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "bin/MailHandler.php", data: dataString, success: function(){ $('.error').fadeOut(0); $('#contact-form').clearForm(); $('#contact').html("&lt;div class='download-box'&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Thanks for contacting us!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Someone will be in touch shortly!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;").fadeOut(0).fadeIn(1500); } }); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>Which then sends to the <strong>PHP</strong> (MailHandler.php):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $to = "email@email.com"; $from = $_REQUEST["email"]; $subject = "Testing the form " . $_REQUEST["name"]; $headers = "From: " . $_REQUEST["email"] . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: " . $_REQUEST["email"]; $messageBody = ""; $messageBody .= $_REQUEST["name"] . "\n"; $messageBody .= $_REQUEST["email"] . "\n"; //and the other fields added similarly. if (mail($to, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){ echo ("Mail Sent"); } else { echo ("Mail Failed"); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Once this runs, everything seems to process correctly, I get the success message and the email with all the correct data arrives. </p> <p>A few minutes later a second email arrives, but with none of the data from the form. All the headers and data values are blank.</p> <p>I've looked over the code, and I can't figure out where the second message is coming from. Does anyone see something I missed?? Any help is appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
