Hey guys,
Thanks for the input! This is pretty nice, and DOES work. I like the fact
that the fields have been into an iterative array. It's a very elegant
solution. However the problem with this approach is that if you load the
page directly it works. But if you call the page from the index.php
When you do validation of the form in the same script that shows the
form, the normal way to do this is
?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//
// validation here
//
}
?
This won't work if you're getting to the page via another form, since
the $_POST['submit'] is set. There two ways of
Sounds good! Thanks Ken. Very clear now.

Hello list,
I have a php script that creates a variable number of forms based on a
$_POST variable from a preceding page. It then takes the data input into
the form and neatly packages the result into an email sent to an email
address (eventually to be a ticketing system).

You do realize that you shouldn't rely on Javascript to validate
values returned in a form? Also, if you use HTML5, you can use the
required attribute in the input tag and the browser won't let a
user submit a form with a required field not filled. Of course, you
should still validate within
You can validate via JS if required, for example: (JS CODE):
if(element.value.length == 0){
// handle 0 length value
}
I do agree with Ken that you SHOULD NOT perform JS validation. It is
preferable to use php or the new HTML5 features. JS can be turned-off by
the user which will make JS
I took your code and modified it to use HTML5 validation (and few
other changes). You can see the results at

My code follows:
