Yay for forms

[Blargh]

I have a form with full validation, it goes to the validation page then I would like it to redirect back to the form if the values are not good...

should I do this? and how? or should I validate while I am still on the form page?

to show you the page....

one fairly simple method is to make a copy of your form, and include it in your validation page if there is an error. Then all you need to do it to insert the variable as a value for each form element.

e.g

in validation script

if (empty($name))
{
include 'form2.php'
}

then in form2 you would put

<input type="text" name="name" value="<? echo $name?>">

this would insert the name value in the text box name.

hope this is of help

That is helpful, thanks...

so what happens when they have errors the second time around, does it loop over?

[treds1]

yeh it will loop back to form2

personally i have the whole signup page repeat onto itself unless everything is perfect, then i move to the registered page where it's all entered into the database.
