The Underscore Archives

Welcome to the world of objects... designed to make your life easier,  
but ultimately adds complications.

/me puts on flame proof suit and runs.

And for anyone ready to attack... I hate procedural just as much as  
object orientated... they both have advantages and disadvantages, and  
neither come out on top on the average project.

Anyway, without seeing the whole code, and tracing the execution, I  
have no idea why one method is being called twice... it could possibly  
be:

- If the class sends emails, its possible that you are sending an  
array of addresses for the data to be sent to (also check cc, bcc,  
etc), where the array has an empty element... or is a string which is  
split by some delimiter (like a comma).

- If the class builds a form, and handles the fields, then you might  
want to check if there are two or more email fields.

- There could be a bug in the class.

So good luck... I can heavily recommend the print_r() and exit() calls.
