Thanks Ron,
Let me just get this straight, a from created from just HTML can have the
fields and values from it extracted and processed by a php script? There is
no other php on my original page, just the form action sending the form to
ProcReg.php. I just want to use ProcReg.php to collect data from an HTML
form, check for blank fiels and valid data, then send it to another HTML
page. I think I have the code for blank field checking and valid data
checking, but, I don't quite know how to send the form back to another fresh
HTML page where a user can make edits if needed.
Regards,
C.B.
