As long as your code is well-formatted and well-commented, I don't think it's a problem, especially for simple forms for quick DB inserts or sending e-mail. You can do nice error handling without annoying Javascript alerts, too; when the form is submitted you can check for missing/invalid field values - if anything is wrong, just output the form again, but this time prepopulate the valid fields and highlight the missing ones with red text or a red outline. -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: motorpsychkill [mailto:ak-47@americanmotorcycle.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 12:13 AM > To: Php General List > Subject: bad form... > > > hello everyone, is it 'bad form' (no pun intended) to have a form point to > itself for processing, rather than forward the form variables to another > page?
