Thanks David and Phil

 I am sorry if it wasn't a PHP question, I thought it was something in the php script that I might need to do or tweak, hence the question. 

I will follow the pointers you have given me and I'll see what I can .

Cheers

Mo

As in the good old 'classic' email header injection where someone
forgets to sanitise input properly.... see :
