What I did was use javascript to make sure they filled out certain parts of
the form. I also created a php version in case they disabelled
javascripting. The way I did this was each input do this:
<INPUT type="text" name="Username" value="<? print $Username ?>">
When they first come into the site the $Username value will be blank, but
once they have submitted the form it will now contain whatever value they
inputted. Just do an "if" check for all the variables that you want to be
required and then a message variable that appends for each form value they
forgot to fill out and then output the message.
I hope that helps! :)
