Thanks Vince, the problem i'm having is that there are multiple fields that
are being checked. I wanted to scale down the problem so I just showed one
field. When each field is checked, the value in $hold_chk is set to 1 if
it's blank. When the script gets to the "if" statement, it checks that
condition to determine if ANY of the fields were blank and echo's this back
to the user.
The form other.php is the original form and the form some.php is the form I
want it to go to when all required fields have been filled in.
Thanks
Art
