Re: QuickForm question...

Thanks for the advice. I'm still having a hard time getting the hang of this - I've looked at the two examples provided with QuickForm, but neither really show me how to do much with it. I'm probably being dense, of course. :-) Anyway, here's what I've got going so far: The script is being used right now to edit some database fields. It displays all the fields and data just fine, and I used: $form->addElement('submit', null, 'Submit'); To create the submit button. Then I have the example to validate and process the form: if ($form->validate()) { $form->freeze(); $form->process(); echo "DONE"; } However, before the data is even entered, this shows up when I run the script: array(1) { ["person_id"]=> string(1) "1" } array(0) { } DONE It appears to me that the form is saying it's been validated, even before the data is submitted. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Here's the full code, in case you want to see how much of a newbie to programming I am. :-) http://www.pcthike.com/quickform.phps thanks, Rob Cole :----------------------------------------------------------------------: : Rob Cole : America is the only nation in history : : colerl@u.washington.edu : which miraculously has gone directly : : Biostatistics : from barbarism to degeneration without : : : the usual interval of civilization. : : : - Clemenceau : :----------------------------------------------------------------------: On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, Martin Tsachev wrote: > On Tue August 13 2002 2:46 am, R.
