I hired someone from this forum to build an SSL order form and email results. After giving this guy many opportunties to correct his work, the form is still not working right:

1. Each submission of form is generating not one, but several emails, some blanks.

2. Customers not receiving email receipt.

Also I need to add form validation and printer-friendly page for receipt.

Please contact me ASAP. The work is urgent. But I will have other work for you too if you meet the criteria of a REAL professional.

If you're someone moonlighting for extra buck on the side without the ethics of a professional, please spare me the torture. I just went through that with this guy. He took my money and is gone.

A professional ...

1. Does the work by the time promised, not require me to hound him on daily basis.
2. Tests his work to make sure it is indeed working and not have me present deficient work to my client over and over.
3. Happily and quickly corrects what is deficient and doesn't come up with crap like "oh, your host must've changed something" or "you must've changed my code; it was working before" or "I just don't know what else I can do."

Let this be a warning to others hiring.
