RE: [PHP] Introduction

Thanks for the welcome! And naturally, I need help. :-) I am just learning PHP, although I have taken programming classes in C and am a little familiar with writing small scripts. My husband wrote a simple PHP script for a client of ours, which I have the pleasure of fine-tuning, the idea being to get me to learn PHP. Well, the script doesn't do what it should, and neither I nor even my husband can figure out why. Hopefully, someone here can guide us as to what we are doing wrong. :-) Basically, all the script does (or should do) is build an e-mail to a client based on a set of variables defined by the user, using an HTML form. It is also supposed to warn the user with a "print" message whenever a variable is missing. The form is at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.html I've saved the script in text format so that you can look at, it is located at the following address: http://www.swedishengineering.com/newsite/requestresponse.rtf The errors are as follows: When the customer's e-mail is omitted, a print message should appear, to the effect of "Hey, you need to specify the e-mail!". However, when the e-mail is omitted *and* one of the options is clicked, the message does not appear, but rather, the user gets re-directed to the index page. When the "Parts" option is chosen, but no parts are indicated, a print message should appear to let the user know that a part number needs to be entered. However, the script bypasses this and builds the e-mail anyway. I hope this makes sense and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!!
