I've been experimenting a form class where the output gets printed through a template. In essence I've got most of it working my problem comes however from the completed validated form. I need to create an arguement that can use the return form the class to submit to a db and print the input to the page (that won't actually be a problem). It's simply getting the final argument working. This will probably make more sense with the scripts so:
the called page adduser.php
<?php
//include external documents
include('includes/form.inc');
include('includes/dbconnect.inc');
include ('templates/template.inc');
//crete form object
$form = new form
(array
(array('label'=>"orgnaisation", 'name'=>"orgname", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$orgname", 'required'=>"true"),
array('label'=>"address one", 'name'=>"addone", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$addone", 'required'=>"true"),
array('label'=>"address two", 'name'=>"addtwo", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$addtwo", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"county", 'name'=>"county", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$county", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"postcode", 'name'=>"postcode", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$postcode", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Phone #", 'name'=>"phonenum", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$phonenum", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Fax #", 'name'=>"faxnum", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$faxnum", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Email", 'name'=>"email", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$email", 'required'=>""),

array('label'=>"VAT #", 'name'=>"vatnum", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$vatnum", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Company #", 'name'=>"url", 'type'=>"text", 'value'=>"$url", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Account Status", 'name'=>"accountstatus", 'type'=>"checkbox", 'value'=>"$accountstatus", 'required'=>""),
array('label'=>"Live", 'name'=>"live", 'type'=>"checkbox", 'value'=>"$live", 'required'=>""),
)
);
