You are in serious need of some regex here...google email regex and you will
have enough results to get you what you want.
Postal Code (assume 2 letters 4 dgits in that order
if (ereg("^[A-Z]{2}{0-9]{4}$",$_POST['postal'])){
...
As for pasting it back to the form, I would suggest you have the form as a
function and the processing code as a function, then you can pass the post
arrays back and forth and pass the error handling along with it

>Hi, I have a form, form results are PUSHED to another page and processed.
>Files below. (in plain-tet)

> Now this is what I want to do:
>
> 1) Make all fields required input, but if easy to configure I want to
>have rules for each textarea. For instance an email address must contain a
>'@' symbol. Must be at leat 5 character longs and must be in a form of an
>email address. So if I type you@me it would produce an error, highlighting
>the error area or display a message at the top of the page. Postcode
>should contain 4 numbers and numbers only, etc. The only field that can be
>left blank will be the message area. How do I achieve this? (message
>regarding this below)
>
> 2) I want to add to the form a UNIQUE ID generater. I will add a new
>hidden form field for this. I need a script called by PHP to generate it.
>Would include both letters and numbers and be atleast 8 CHARS long.
>
> As for 1) I have tried some javascript but it failed, since I PUSH all
>field responses to another page. When i add it the submit button fails and
>does not push the results through. But it produces the error fine, but
>form is not PUSHED on. So it seems it's lost because of the javascript.
>So i took it out completely. I think there is a way in PHP to call errors
