AM I NOT CLOSE????? i must be i can print a whoohoo in the space where i put header, i just get this horrid warning - someone must know ??

im trying to make the name field come up with and error message when nothing is inputed and when something is inputed on submit should take you to a results page.

You get the error message because all headers must be sent before anything else to the browser. Even a space, return, tab or something else before the headers will cause this error. You have to restructure your code in order to solve this problem.

after that advice i have managed to do all the validation and if i do say so myself its looking fabulous🙂
i do i have another problem though now and the real code (the result from the form) i am sending the form.php to go to results.php after the validation has been done. then the results.php would hold all the php to make the results but the problem is that the results page does not seem to recognise all the varibles i have used in form.php it doesn't see post[] so i am unsure what to do.

i have tried to do all the results php inside the form.php then using echo $_POST["name"]; but it doesn't seem to be connected to form.php

is there a way around this?
i can get the results to appear on the form.php page but the form is in the way so i would prefer them to go on a different page.
