Can anyone help. I've tried scaling down a script to the bare minimum and
it still is not working correctly. What I think should happen is that when
the field app_fname is blank, that $hold_chk will get set to 1 and the 1st
if statement will be executed. What actually happens is that when I hit
submit, the form stays where it is, for example if the form where the submit
button is located is on the form other.php, then when I hit submit this is
where it stays. If I then hit the submit button a 2nd time, it post to the
some.php form. I've tried this script without the conditional if(isset()
and it works. I need to have the isset() otherwise the form displays all
empty fields as soon as it loads, before the submit button is hit. Any help
would be appreciated. After working on this for 2 weeks it seems like i'm
stuck.
Thanks
Art

I was in a hurry last night because I was going out and not really

wasn't the solution.
Can you please describe what you /expect/ it to do? I'm sure the answer
is very simple.
Your sample was missing the default form. It only worked in the case
when something was posted, but in the case the page is opened the first
time, there is no form tag at all...
So, once again, from the top...
<?php
$holdchk = 0;
if (isset($_POST['B1'])) { // if the form was submitted
$form= "<br><br><b r>";
if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) {
$holdchk = 1;
}
if ($holdchk === 1 ){
$form.= "<form method='POST' action='some.ph p'>";
}
if ($holdchk === 0 ){
$form.= "<form method='POST' action='other.p hp'>";
}
} else { // no form was submitted
$form = "<form method='POST' action='{$_SERV ER['PHP_SELF']}'>";
}

<head>
</head>
<?php echo $form;?>
When

type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I think this is what Geoff meant, he just forgot the default case. :)

LOL thanks Rami for seeing where I was going. :-)
But as I said, I'm sure we can find a far better way of accomplishing
what the OP wants to do.

Geoff, I'm just trying to have validation in my form. I check to see if
certain fields have values, if all the required fields have values, i want
to sent the data to another php form, that processes the request and sends
the data to a sql database and generates an email that a request has come
in.
The problem i'm having is that no matter what i do, the form will not submit
on the first click, even though all conditions are met. I've tested this by
echoing variables that let me know where i am in the code.
What's strange is that when i hit the submit button the 2nd time, it submits
ok.
I've tried your suggestions but the abscense of the form tag in the html
deactivated the submit button. I'm going to try the other suggestion.
You're also right in that it can no doubt be done better. I'm new to php
programming. I'm currently enrolled in a cis programming degreed course but
haven't gotten into my core curricula yet.
Thanks for your patience

You do realize that if it's important to check certain fields for valid
values, that it is just as important to check those fields for the SECOND
form ALSO, I hope?

So you'll be requesting the user to submit it twice? That's complicating
things unnecessarily. Once you have validated, just insert them into the
database right away. You can do that by including the processing page if
the fields check okay.
Like this:
if($_POST['submit']){
if(!empty($_POS T['field'])){
// Here you include the processing script
include('some.p hp');
exit();
}
}

Hi,
Does using the the conditional operator (?:) instead of the common "if"
statement will give a performance gain in a C# .NET 2003 application
(even in C# .NET 2005?).
What is the advantage of using it in C# other than typing shorter if ?
Thanks,

In hindsight, I am disappointed with the choice of conditional syntax. I know it's too late to change. The problem is
y = some thing or other if x else something_else
When scanning this my eye tends to see the first phrase and only later notice that it's conditioned on x (or maybe not notice at all!). Particularly if 'some thing or other' is long or complicated.

Hey Guys,
I have a huge statement loads of if statements in... and its getting bigger.
On closer inspection there is only 3 difference in the select statement. so I thought I could cut the whole thing down to just 1 select statement if I have a conditional Having.
I've simplified the IF statement down a bit to give you an idea of what im trying to achieve
