Re: [PHP] Using PHP Variables with a Header
the way i would do this is to have the form validation on the same page as the form and when user input has been validated the require another script (keeps global variables) you could try something like this user_input must = ok "; } ?> hope this helps nicko At 05:10 9/07/01 -0700, you wrote: >I have a form that requires a user to enter various information (name, >address, phone number, etc...).
