I am trying to build a script which wiil receive some user input, and
submit the information via POST to a second procedure, which does some
validations. If the validations fail, the original procedure is
recalled, but this time the user should see an error message. The
following fragment illustrates:
<html>
<head>
<title>Client Maintenance</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><b>Add/Update a Client</b></p>
<form action="clientmaint.php" method="post">
<?php
if(isset($_POST['stts']))
{
if($_POST['stts'] == "miss")
{
print("<p>You MUST provide at least a <b>telephone number</b><br>or
a <b>surname</b></p>)";
}
}
?>
<SNIPPED SOME STUFF WHICH WOKS FINE>
</form>
</body>
</html>
What is actually happening is that everything from the "You" onward is
being displayed by the client, on the first pass. So I'm getting on the
client:
Add/Update a Client
You MUST provide at least a telephone number
or a surname)"; } } ?>
on the first pass, when the $_POST{'stts'] variable should not be set.
I am sure this is a really simple problem for an expert. If any one can
suggest how to get this to behave, I will be truely greatful, even unto
half my kingdom (which if you really care amounts to about $0.50).
Thanks all.
