Hi Hugh,
Thanks - I can access the next page now. But I've got a new problem: even if
the fields are all empty, a carriage return sends me off to the next form
[Bad! Bad, form - that's not what I want you to do!]
Where would you insert:
if (!isset($name)) die ("You need to fill in your name. Use the browser's
back button and input this information.");
I tried in the php database storage code (didn't work). Tried it after the
appropriate 'Name' code in the form's html document. Didn't work. I know
that it should work somewhere . . . .
Somehow, I don't think the "Submit" function is working as it should
(especially if a carriage return or "Enter" can override everything). Is
there some code that will defeat this undesirable activity?
Oh this is so much fun :) -- I love the long days and even longer nights. I'm
glad I've got four months to put this new site together. Any insights and
help will be greatly appreciated!
Tia,
Andre
