Re: newbie - help with field variables in forms

Hi! A very simple way to do this is by checking the variables of the form (the names of fields) if they are isset() or not. To be more specific you can even check, if any of them is empty(). In special cases like the email address, i suggest using regexp to check if it is a valid email address. The structure i use for this: if (isset($name_of_submit_button) { here comes the checking part if (error_occures) $error = true; } if (isset($name_of_submit_button) && !$error) { send the email } else { show the form itself } this is my way, but there are other good solutions out there as well. > > I established an email feedback form, everything works fine, and now I'd > like to add code to make a couple of fields required.
