RE: [PHP] Forms and Results with PHP

what about checking for some mandatory field and if it doesn't exist, display an error message. something like: <? if (!isset($name)) { echo "error!!"; exit; } // rest of code here ?> -----Original Message----- From: Ben Clumeck [mailto:bclumeck@home.com] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 9:14 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Forms and Results with PHP I have a form that a user can put his contact info. This form posts to a file called results.php. The results.php file has a mail() command and the echo (i.e. <? echo "$name"; ?>) to show the user confirmation of what he has submitted. However, if someone goes directly to results.php it will show Name: blank and email blank information. Is there a way for the page to post an error stating no information was submitted or is there a way to enable the page to process without information?
