I am trying to validate the form and if it fails to re-display
the form with previous details so that the correct data is not lost.
I have scripted it long-hand beacuse I could not get a for( $i... loop
working AND keep the correct data
ALSO when $so_num == 'same' I want it to be egual to the date that
was entered in the preceeding date - this saves re-typing the date each
time.
CODE BELOW
Can you please help ?
Thanks david.

I HAVE COMMENTED THIS OUT SO THAT THE PROGRAMS WORK WITHOUT A DB BUT
YOU CAN SEE WHAT I AM DOING HERE.
