Form error detection

[jdspc]

Greetings

I created an employment application using php and I neglected to add any error detection.
There are more than 100 entries, yet not all are necessary.
Is there a way to add error detection using one line to isolate the mandatory entries?
Plus if there are errors, I would like to retain all info previously entered...


Error detection example…

<?
 if ($_POST[sender_email] == ""){
$email_err = "<font color=red>Please enter your E-Mail!</font><br>";
$send="no";
 ?>

I would do something like this;

<input name="person_name" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['person_name']; ?>" />

As long as your form posts to the same page then all the fields should retain the information

Thanks!

I thought of that on the way home yesterday...

I just need to come up with a creative one-liner to detect omission of 1 or more entry out of 50 diff fields.

Many Thanks!

Don't you want to validate the form with javascript before it is submitted?

I agree,

Does PHP have the equivalent of ASP error detection? It's excellent and is all client-side, so less post-backs, which means faster data entry, which means easier to use, which means more user-friendly, which means more success!

Which means more money. Which means expensive cars and maybe drug addiction or car accident. Which means ruined life forever !!!

Use Basic for DOS and live long and happy.

Validation! Thats what I'm looking for!

Yess, validate the form, but using one line. Not all entries are mandatory.
Like the example above...covering 50 fields.

I'm not being lazy, I have already entered the line(s) needed but more forms are coming in and brevity seems to add to clarity.

Thanks again

You can check LiveValidation. It's pretty but it's more that one line.

Not what I was looking for, the form works wonderfully, I am getting a lot of apps without the mandatory information.
I think it is going to come down to creative declarations.
I have an idea and will post it if it works.
