Okay - I don't have access to the code right now, but I can try to
explain a little better.
I have a form, with several fields: name, address, email and phone.
When the user submits the form, I need him to have put down at least his
name and _either_ his email, address or phone number, so we have a sure
way to get in contact with him.
That's why, while validating the form-data, I would like to process
_first_ the name, and if there is no name entered, then I'll show an
error - if there _is_ a name entered, I go to the next part, which is to
check if there is an email-address entered - if there isn't, I want to
go to the _next_ part, check if there is a phonenumber entered, if there
isn't a phonenumber either, I want to show an errormessage - if there
_is_ a phonenumber entered, then that will be sufficient, and the final
check, for the valid numbers from a code-field will be checked - if
erroneus, I'll display an error, if correct, the form will be processed.
As of now, I have chosen to have name, email and phonenumber as
obligatory fields - they all get checked, and they all need input or the
error-page displays. That works, of course, but I would like to have the
above solution, as that would be more flexible towards the users.
