RE: [PHP-DB] php/sendmail help!

Thanks for your help Bastien. I have it all working now, no problems. I also have generated a Unique ID for the form also.

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 Bastien >From: JeRRy >To: php-db@lists.php.net >Subject: [PHP-DB] php/sendmail help! >Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 13:22:53 +1100 (EST) > >Hi, I have a form, form results are PUSHED to another page and processed. >Files below.
