With a simple re-structuring of your code, you can just do an "include" to get the form back in with the data pre-filled, and have them try again. Why waste an HTTP connection, more hard drive hits to include all your function libraries (or whatever), ...? You've already GOT all the info you need in your hands right there to display what you want to display. Just display it. :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
