Hi, I have a form, form results are PUSHED to another page and processed.
Files below. (in plain-tet)
Now this is what I want to do:
1) Make all fields required input, but if easy to configure I want to have
rules for each textarea. For instance an email address must contain a '@'
symbol. Must be at leat 5 character longs and must be in a form of an email
address. So if I type [EMAIL PROTECTED] it would produce an error,
highlighting the error area or display a message at the top of the page.
Postcode should contain 4 numbers and numbers only, etc. The only field that
can be left blank will be the message area. How do I achieve this? (message
regarding this below)
2) I want to add to the form a UNIQUE ID generater. I will add a new hidden
form field for this. I need a script called by PHP to generate it. Would
include both letters and numbers and be atleast 8 CHARS long.
As for 1) I have tried some javascript but it failed, since I PUSH all field
responses to another page. When i add it the submit button fails and does not
push the results through. But it produces the error fine, but form is not
PUSHED on. So it seems it's lost because of the javascript. So i took it out
completely. I think there is a way in PHP to call errors for forms? But
anways, here are the files below. Please help, I am on a tight schedule here
if anyone can assist me.
file one looks like this: (form.php)

FYI I have changed some email settings and configuration files for security
reasons. But as you can see results are pushed to the second file than emailed
off, no need for a database or anything. So you should be able to test very
easily.
If anyone can help with suggestions or even do the code it would be mostly
appreciated, can pay since it's urgent.
Thanks for your time!
