PHP beginner needs a little help
I am trying to build a script which wiil receive some user input, and submit the information via POST to a second procedure, which does some validations. If the validations fail, the original procedure is recalled, but this time the user should see an error message. The following fragment illustrates: <html> <head> <title>Client Maintenance</title> </head> <body> <p><b>Add/Update a Client</b></p> <form action="clientmaint.php" method="post"> <?php if(isset($_POST['stts'])) { if($_POST['stts'] == "miss") { print("<p>You MUST provide at least a <b>telephone number</b><br>or a <b>surname</b></p>)"; } } ?> <SNIPPED SOME STUFF WHICH WOKS FINE> </form> </body> </html> What is actually happening is that everything from the "You" onward is being displayed by the client, on the first pass. So I'm getting on the client: Add/Update a Client You MUST provide at least a telephone number or a surname)"; } } ?> on the first pass, when the $_POST{'stts'] variable should not be set. I am sure this is a really simple problem for an expert. If any one can suggest how to get this to behave, I will be truely greatful, even unto half my kingdom (which if you really care amounts to about $0.50). Thanks all.

Exactly this: } } ?> is wondering me. Best Olaf
