OK here is your Original Post:

************************
Hi, Newviw here;

Win 7 Home Premium, XAMPP 1.7.3, PHP 5.3,

Two pages:  Form.php, check.php (& thanks.html).
    They work fine; sends e-mail, formatted, and readable.


Form.php:
$d=($a.$b.$c);
    echo "Your code is : " .$d." Enter it in the box below, including 
dashes : <br />";

<form action="Check.php" method="post">
  <b>Your Code: </b><input type="text" name="code" size="10 
maxlength="14" /><br /><br /> ...

BUT:  When I begin to add some security, things quit working.

1st, I add to form.php an mt-rand() build of a random code assigned to $d.

$d=($a.$b.$c);
    echo "Your code is : " .$d." Enter it in the box below, including 
dashes : <br />";

Works OK.

Check.php:
Now, when I try to validate the 'code' in check.php, things stop working.

$code = check_input($_POST['code'], "Enter Your Code");
stops everything in its tracks.

Any comments, advice, leads much appreiated.

TIA.

1. where is the relevant code of check_input(), the function that you 
said is failing?

2. Where did you say that you will provide full code?

3. Best advice here, IMHO, if you don't like a reply then just ignore 
it.  If you bite back then you lose.

It is not that people do not want to help, but their time is very 
valuable to them and like to get to the straight skinny.  This is 
probably why PE pointed you to how to ask good questions in here.

Will await the code.

Scotty
