What I want is that if the field is blank, to stop the script and send the user back to fill in their age. My problem now is that if I go to the blank application form, The script interprets the form as being blank and spits out the error. Ideal scenario, a blank form is presented to the user, and when the form is submitted, do the logic check and act accordingly. Is it possible using $PHP_SELF as the target, or do I have to use 2 files: a form 'front end' with the php logic in the 'backend'?? if ($Age = " ") { echo "Please go back and enter your age."; } exit(); Thanks Gerard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
