I have a form that I am submitting to itself about halfway through in order to check key fields for information. I know this is simple, and I am sure I have seen it on this discussion but I can't seem to get it figured out.

I have a variable $ckSubmit that I am using to see if my form has been submitted. If the form has been submitted $ckSubmit is incremented by 1.

My code looks something like this...

if ($ckSubmit==2) {
if ($jobdesc=='') echo '<script type = "text/javascript"> alert("Please enter a Project Name");</script>';
if ($client=='A') echo '<script type = "text/javascript"> alert("Please enter a Client Name");</script>';


I know there is an easier way to do this but just need some help.

I don't know why you have to increment the submit may be there is a reason for that? i take it that ckSubmit is the name of the submit button?.

i hope this solves your problem!


Try this! put it in top of the form u use.

PHP Code:

if ($_POST[ckSubmit])

{

   if (!$_POST[jobdesc])

   {

   echo '<script type = "text/javascript"> alert("Please enter a Project Name");</script>'; 

   $error=1;

   }

   if ($_POST[client]=='A')

   {

   echo '<script type = "text/javascript"> alert("Please enter a Client Name");</script>'; 

   $error=1;

   }



  if (!$error)

  {

   // form is valid do something

  exit;

  }

}
