Just because they're in separate files doesn't mean they need to be in separate requests. > I've got a registration form in html with the action pointing to a > separate php file that will process the form when submitted. You have it ass backwards. You generally want an registration form in html that has an action targetting itself and upon submission the handling code is called. > when i > want to output errors or messages, its currently being > outputed in the resulting code generated by the php file.

This is why you want to submit to the same page as the form is displayed, in the event of an error you just redisplay the form and the errors are already populated for you to print. On the other hand if the form is submitted correctly then you redirect to a nice little success page. This way you won't need to do error message juggling via the session data.
