Error Window for PHP

[magic-chef]

How would you write a script to show "error" codes or other information without losing the current browser windo?. I'm thinking along the lines of registration or other fill in forms that require some data validation.. The box could open, disply the warning message, and the user could go back to the form without reloading.

If you want the validation done at the browser, use javascript to validate field entries

I found this code:

<?

function DisplayError($ErrorMessage) {
?>
<br><br><br>
<table class="InfoTable" width="400">
<caption>Error</caption>
<tr><td><p class="ErrorMessage"><?=$ErrorMessage?></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="button" value="Back" onclick="history.back()"></td></tr>
</table>
<?
}
// End DisplayError()

When I try to run it on my site it does not work. It seems straight forward and works on the site it is located. The form window stays open and a window pops up. Click the back button and you are back at the form...very handy.
