Invalid email data in DB and email

sactobob 18 Feb, 2016
I have a form that has an email1 and email2 field. Both are marked required, email and email2 is compared to email1. Fairly standard. However, since the form has been implemented we've received a total of 54 emails, but a few of those contain invalid emails in both fields that has data in it that leads me to believe there's a coding error somewhere as the data is html. Here a DB dump of the affected rows:


Email1 ,Email2

<span id=,<span id=
<span id=,<span id=

Hi euoceo,

Please see this FAQ - I suspect that is the cause.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, email cloaking was below chronforms plugin.

Hmm, accidently pastes a url and then hit submit.. No way to edit our posts? Go ahead and remove that url and delete this one.... thx.. sorry about that.

Hi euoceo,

I've fixed the post - you are not allowed to edit them because in the past we have had spammers who make a fairly innocent post, then come back days or weeks later and stuff it with URLs :-(

Just a follow up, the FAQ regarding order of email cloaking and chronoforms in plugin manager worked perfectly. About 20 forms submitted since reordering the plugins, all have valid email addresses now.

Thanks Bob!
