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

Sort of, but this is a scaled down version of the code, which was requested.
I'm still stuck and still trying to understand why it's not working.

Try something like this.
$holdchk= (strlen ($_POST['B1'])>0 and strlen($_POST['app_fname'])==0);
$action= ($holdchk)? "some.php": "other.php";
echo "<form method='POST' action='$action'>";

And you took no notice of my post on the subject before. You are still
echoing html /before/ the<htmltag!
I think you need something like this:

if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) {
$holdchk = 1;

Why avoid isset?
I use that function in every script that receives clientinformation...
Couldn't life without it.
Personally I think your posted code is a bad example on how to solve it...
You need to read it twice and rethink it. Clear code is better and happens
to use isset().
Just my 2 cent of course...

I don't think he knows what he's talking about. isset is essential.

Same here. And it's really handy when using forms with multiple submit
buttons, to see which was pressed. (print, edit, delete, for example.)

Yeah, the example is indeed a bit messy. And concidering the level of
the OP, it's no help at all, it only confuses more. The OP requires the
"php for dummies" answer.

Geoff, I tried modifying the code with your suggestions. It had the effect
of disabling the submit button. It seems like there has to be <form
method="POST" action=""in the html, to enable the submit button.
Variables aren't being recognized by the html as defining the form.
Thanks

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
$form= "<br><br><br>";
if (empty($_POST['app_fname'])) {
$holdchk = 1;
}
if ($holdchk === 1 ){
$form.= "<form method='POST' action='some.php'>";
}
if ($holdchk === 0 ){
$form.= "<form method='POST' action='other.php'>";
}
} else { // no form was submitted
$form = "<form method='POST' action='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}'>";
}
?>

<head>
</head>
<?php echo $form;?>
When
hit the submit button</font></b<input
type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I think this is what Geoff meant, he just forgot the default case. :)

But as I said, I'm sure we can find a far better way of accomplishing

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($_POST['submit']){
if(!empty($_POST['field'])){
// Here you include the processing script
include('some.php');
exit();
}
}
