Hello all.

I'm relatively new to the world of PHP, but I've programmed in C, C++, Rexx, in the 
past.

What I'm working on is this and I wanted to clarify some things about how PHP "runs"

I've got a function that contains a form and depending on the entry to the form, which 
is 
then checked against a database(to avoid duplicates in the list).  once a non 
duplicate 
is determined it advances to the next form for data entry.  I had the whole thing in a 
while 
loop but that was a disaster.

I pass $PHP_SELF to the functions, am I to understand that once the script returns 
from 
the function it starts executing at the beginning?


While( Not stopping)
{

do first form()
check against database()

if(above check is OK)
        do the information form()


if(form entered)
        put data into database()




}


as it is structured above it just runs and runs through the first form.

I put a break into the while loop, but the script still seems to run right to the end.

I suppose to phrase another way. 

how do I do this

call form
        wait there until it is completed
call check
        look for duplicate

then if ok
        I then commit to database after entereing data


PHP doesn't seem to stop execution and wait for user input. it seems to merrily plug 
away.


thanks for any input gang,

Chris
