server side form validation - update form fields

Hi,

Being new coding in phpI have a question concerning server side form
validation.

In a php script I check if a form is correctly filled in. Now I want
that the
page containing the forms is represented agian so that the user can
fill in a
correct value. The other forms that a correctly filled in should be
showed
agian.

On the moment when a user fills in a wrong value they get a different
page
with a message...some that isn't tha usable. I want to represent the
orginal
form again.


Thanks

Dirk,

You multiposted this message in alt.comp.lang.php under the name 'Your
Name Here'.
I answered it in there.

Please do not multipost (posting the same question to multiple groups).
If you must, crosspost (posting to multiple groups AT ONCE).

Reason? If I answer your question in group1, nobody in group2 will know,
and so many people are wasting their time answering the same question in
different groups. OK?

Regards,
Erwin Moller

There's a web site called http://www.google.com
You may have heard about it.
If you put the words:
server side validation
in the search box, you will find lots of references about how to do exactly
this.
There, now you have a new great tool at your disposal

It looks like what you need is client-side validation - for that instant
mistake prompt, ya know.
You'll want something in ECMA Script the for element's onclick event like:

if (this.text == "hello wrold") { msgbox("Misspelled 'world'.";}
