First time posting here. I have a php contact form on a CMS site that is sending me duplicate emails. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes it send two copies, sometimes it sends as many as 8 copies. Sometimes it works normally. The issue started after removing some fields from the form.
The form submits to a separate page that sends the email to 3 recipients. This page also serves as a thank you page that displays the information submitted by the user. "Thanks for contacting us the following information has been received".
The embeds are expresionengine code. Thanks for your help!!!
Here is the form:
<form id="Form1" name="Form1" method="post" action="http://myprocessingpage.com">
<label for="fname">Name:</label> <input type="text" size="42" id="fname" name="fname"><br>
