submitted form just shows itself

I have a form i will use to register new people and when I click the
submit button, the form just shows itself. It is supposed to show a
message showing field errors if you leave fields blank etc. so
submitting the empty form should show error message in red , then show
form, but all it does is show form. I checked the variable to make
shore they ere ok and they are fine. i believe it is a logical error
with my if else.... I eved modularized everything by using functions
and the same results.

if any one sees the logical error, let me know. Here the code:


<?php

function showmessage() {
// Check to make sure they entered a valid email address.
if (eregi("^([[:alnum:]]|_|\.|-)+@([[:alnum:]]|\.|-)+(\.)([a-z]{2,4})$",

$d = TRUE;
} else {
$d = FALSE;
$message1[] = "The email address you entered is not valid.";
}
return;
}

function checkfields(){

$year = $HTTP_POST_VARS['yearfield'];

$day = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dayfield'];
$dobfield = $year.$month.$day;

I'm no expert but I can't see a print or echo for the field errors.

It would appears that you have pointed out a material error. When I
modularized the code, I put the email check code in the showmessage
area. this is wrong. Thank you. I will fix and keep everyone posted. I
looked over this code for day and i did not see this. Goes to show
you, sometimes you just need a new pair of eyes to look at the code.
At one point I had it right, but as I tried to fix another area , this
crept in. Thanks a lot buddy!

Don't you have to get the function to return the variable?

I think the submit button is named submitbut, right? So if you want to
use the varaible $submitbut you should read it with

$submitbut = $_POST['submitbut'];

before as you do it with the other variables.

I actually don't think so. once the form is submitted , the variable
is available. I also used the popular method of :

if (isset($_post['submitbut']))


and that did not work either. I think its the way I do the if..else...

Norman,

Stupid question maybe, but I couldn't see any form code available here...
you have got the submit button name defined haven't you?:


<input type="submit" name="submitbut" value="Submit" />


for example?

Just a thought =)

I finally got the registration form to work. Code is below. It is
actually a good example to use to register people. I believe my
problem was the fact that I showed the form using an
"include(showform.php)". Since I had the form calling itself if there
was a problem, this caused a problem showing the errors. Once I
included the code to show form all in the same script, this made
everything fire like it was supposed to. This script displays a form
and checks the fields for valid info then inserts into a DB then
amails the user his registration info then emails you a new person
registered than thanks the user. thanks to all tha helped:
