If you are on Winbloze, I thing the free notepad++ has syntax
highlighting for PHP.

Shawn, I always have error_reporting on and display errors on.
Ok, I didn't see the error above; but in my defense (no defense really),
I should have thought about it) i just copied the code I was given.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. Thanks for pointing it out.
And yes, I do have a lot of problems with curly braces & parentheses.
I eventually do find them... but...
I have been thinking about what editor would show me bad syntax...
I've been using HOMESITE+ for no other reason than that it allows me to
switch between files quickly ... I do have Netbeans, but it screwed me
once when I accidentally closed it and I lost the whole file and had to
redo it all, so I'm a bit wary...
And I'm not too keen on getting into some IDE... tried them and found
them cumbersome to set up & learn.
Any suggestions?

You mean when PHP parses my code, it can't just tell what I meant and
do it? I mean, web browsers aren't that picky. Geesh! :-P

YOU, always need to have error_reporting on and display errors on, and
also be logging errors so that you can see parse errors in the log.
Always check the log after a "empty screen". I've seen many posts from
you where you get a blank, empty, white screen. This is most always a
parse error!. Get an editor that will show you bad syntax like the
above. It is a freaking parse error because you don't have matched
parentheses!

produces an empty screen with no error messages...
I have been having some trouble understanding "empty()" -- it doesn't
seem to want to work for me in any situation
Anyway, I seem to have it all working, pretty much. Still testing...
I think the problem had to do with either sessions, or setting the right
parameters for the submit option or using action="" -- the latter seems to work ok. Although, it is
interesting that it is possible to use another file for the action - but
that seems a bit redundant as you have to populate that file with almost
the same stuff that is in the original form file...
I'm making progress, but I don't think I'm learning a lot other than to
contain my frustration. ;-)

Re: [PHP] resubmit form after validation error
Hi PJ,
You can use the structure following
$bid = htmlentities($_GET['id']);
if(empty($bid) {
$bid=0;
}
if(is_numeric($bid)) {
if($bid==0) {
do something
} else if($bid==1) {
do something
}
}
After this code there will always a number, If the id variable is 0, bid
will be 0 and you can control it.
Thanks.
Caner.

Re: [PHP] resubmit form after validation error
Hi Caner, Thanks for the input. I'm not sure that would do it as the first instruction on the page is : $bid = $_GET['id'] ; thus, the page cannot even be loaded if there is no id in the uri - it generates a number of errors. In order to use the feature of editing, I use a search page and then set up an href to the edit page with the id of the item to be edited. I finally figured out to do the action="another_page.php" and with slight modifications to the form, things finally work. And, to delete the item (all records related to the item), I set up 2 submits - 1 to "update.php" and one to "delete.php" Maybe it's all cumbersome and maybe it is possible to streamline the whole process, but then it does work and I am just learning... :-) Thanks again.

Hi, You can use a variable to that. Like following. Example if the variable is 1 you start to processing form input.
