The javascript function formValidator() must return false if any errors are formed. >>The PHP only runs if the fields are set by testing using ‘isset”. You should definitely have a better validation than that. Remember that all users dont have javascript enabled. Moreover it is very easy to modify the request variables. >> However, if the server-side evaluation fails and the page is refreshed, then all the previous values are lost -- UNLESS -- you keep them in a cookie, database, or session. I suggest using a session. This is true when the page is refreshed but I doubt that is the case here. Since $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is being used I think value="<?php echo $_POST[...] ?>" will be sufficient -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
