Geoff, I'm just trying to have validation in my form. I check to see if
certain fields have values, if all the required fields have values, i want
to sent the data to another php form, that processes the request and sends
the data to a sql database and generates an email that a request has come
in.
The problem i'm having is that no matter what i do, the form will not submit
on the first click, even though all conditions are met. I've tested this by
echoing variables that let me know where i am in the code.
What's strange is that when i hit the submit button the 2nd time, it submits
ok.
I've tried your suggestions but the abscense of the form tag in the html
deactivated the submit button. I'm going to try the other suggestion.
You're also right in that it can no doubt be done better. I'm new to php
programming. I'm currently enrolled in a cis programming degreed course but
haven't gotten into my core curricula yet.
Thanks for your patience
