hi to all!

I have made a html contact form and the following php code to get those form data and send them via email to me. but the problem is everytime i am getting 2 emails, 1 is blank with all fields and 1 is with complete form data entered by the visitors. can anyone tell me why is this happening?

here is html form coding:

Code:

<form name="form1" action="contact.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            &nbsp;<small>Enter your Name</small>: <BR>
   <INPUT size="30" name="name"> 
   <br>
   <BR>
   &nbsp;<small>E-mail address</small>: <BR>
   <INPUT maxLength="100" size="30" name="email"> 
   <br>
   <BR>
   &nbsp;<small>Message Subject</small>: <BR>
   <INPUT size="30" name="subject"> 
   <br>
   <br>
   &nbsp;<small>Enter your Message</small>: <BR>
   <TEXTAREA name="comments" rows="10" cols="50"></TEXTAREA> 
    <BR><BR>        
   
            <input type="button" name="btn" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:validateform()" />&nbsp;
   <input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset" /> 
        </form>
