use something like this:
processor.php
<?
session_start();
// the $_POST variables should be the same as your form names.
if( (empty($_POST['email'])) || (empty($_POST['name'])) ||
(empty($_POST['phone'])) ){
// return to the form and display an error message.
$_SESSION['errormessage']="Please fill out all form fields.";
header("Location:http://www.mysite.com/myform.php");
exit();
}
else
{
// execute code that should happen if all fields are filled in.
}
?>
myform.php
<?
//this line makes available any session variables already set, like the
error message above.
session_start();
//if there is an error message available, display it
if($_SESSION['errormessage']){
echo $_SESSION['errormessage'];
}
?>
Your form would then go here.
Hope that helps.
