Hello,
I found a form that redisplays itself with error messages for fields not
filled in. I am trying to alter it so if the fields are filled in it will
redirect to another page...otherwise it will display itself with error
messages for fields not filled in.
The redirect works now, but I am having a problem with the script displaying
the form twice on the same page.
The ultimate goal of this script is to:
1) display a form
2)display the form again with error messages if fields are left blank
3)redirect to another page if fields are filled in
Here is the code......I apologize for the length.
