There is nothing wrong with the way you want to submit this form.
Although it's JS :) The sample code you posted was broken in some ways...
missing document. in JS en missing input field to check.
This sample works fine ...
test.html
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
if (document.inputForm.cc_phone_number.value == "") {
alert( "Please enter a phone number." );
document.inputForm.cc_phone_number.focus();
return;
}
document.inputForm.submit();
}
</script>
<title></title>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../CSS/background.css">
</head>
<body>
<div align="center">
<h2></h2>
<h3>Submit a New Payment.</h3>
</div>
<form name="inputForm" action="save.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="cc_phone_number" value="8756765756757" />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="680">
<tr>
<td width="64" align="left"><a href="javascript:checkForm()" title="Save">Save</a></td>
<td width="616" align="left"><a href="javascript:closeThis()" title="Close">Close</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
save.phhp
<?php print_r($_POST); ?>
Think some other code or JS errors might stop the form from sending data.
