recursive form

[adunphy]

I built an online form. It pulls the data from a database like
email: youremailaddress
The user can modify that field and hit save.

NOW, if there is an error, I recall that form and print the error message. but it goes back to the original data from the database. I dont want to save the data until its been submitted correctly. How can I print the modified data instead of the original data?

Maybe a parameter that says if being called again, then print fieldname, if being called once print from database?

the data the user entered is all contained with the $_POST array. use that to echo the form values instead of the data coming from the db.
