Contact / registration form not workin'... WHY?

1

OK, so I have a form that I need people to fill in. And so far I only have one “smaler” problem… the validation part… It sort of works. The thing is that it shows the “error” msg even if all the correct fields have been filed in?! Why? I suck at PHP, just so that we are clear on that :drool:

Sooo, this is what is supposed to happen.

The person comes to a html page (the acctual form), fill it in, push send, then this PHP page kicks in. First it checks to make sure that all the correct fields have been filed in (if not, display an error msg, showing what they missed), then goes to a thx page (tfm.html) and at the same time sends an e-mail to both me and the person how registerd.

$adminaddress = "[email protected]";

$sitename = "My websites name"; 

$date = date("d/m/Y H:i:s");

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$address = $_POST['address'] ;
$zip = $_POST['zip'] ;

	}
	else

Would it be hard to make it so that instead of going to a new page, it just shows the error msg “required field” inside the respectiv boxes?? :look:

Anyways, thankfull for any help I can get here… I feel kind of stuck, cause i can’t see what the problem is :frowning:
