yep, best way is to move the control of your form into the php script
itself, so the script can spit up the form with errors, saying "you screwed
this, and that up" instead of making them go back, which 90% of the time
will force them to re-enter the data, and we all know how much that sucks :)
in short, don't use the php script like most people use cgi scripts. have it
control the entire peocess.
