    Hi thanks for the reply, On a tutorial it told me to put the html into a function so that renderform function is called a couple of times. I did have it working at one point but now it's not working properly.

    Thank you that worked.. I have a problem now when you press the submit button on the form, it renders the form twice, or if you fill out the information i'm getting headers already sent.. I know it must be down to my if statements somewhere. <?php /* NEW.PHP Allows user to create a new entry in the database */ // creates the new record form // since this form is used multiple times in this file, I have made it a function that is easily reusable function renderForm($Name, $Rank, $error) { ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>New Record</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <p> <?php // if there are any errors, display them if ($error != '') { echo '<div style="padding:4px; border:1px solid red; color:red;">'.$error.'</div>'; } ?> </p> <p> </p> <form action="" method="post"> <div> <table width="842" border="0" class="styletable" style="border: 1px solid #000000"> <tr> <td width="255"><strong>Name: *</strong></td> <td width="577"><input type="text" name="Name" value="<?php echo $Name; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Rank:</strong></td> <td><input type="text" name="Rank" value="<?php echo $Rank; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Contact Email: *</strong></td> <td><input type="text" name="ContactEmail" value="<?php echo $ContactEmail; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Website: (omitting http://)</strong></td> <td><input type="text" name="Website" value="<?php echo $Website; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Location:</strong></td> <td><select name="Location" id="Location"> <option value="East Midlands">East Midlands</option> <option value="East Of England">East Of England</option> <option value="Greater London">Greater London</option> <option value="North East England">North East England</option> <option value="North West England">North West England</option> <option value="South East England">South East England</option> <option value="South West England">Soth West England</option> <option value="West Midlands">West Midlands</option> <option value="Yorkshire And The Humber">Yorkshire And The Humber</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Bio:</strong></td> <td><textarea name="BIO" id="BIO" cols="60" rows="5"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <p>* required</p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> <a href="view.php">Cancel - View Records</a> </div> </form> </div> </body> </html> <?php } // connect to the database include('../connect-db.php'); // check if the form has been submitted.
