"answer:  put the processing in the header, and store the results in variables.  perhaps a $result variable that is 1 if successful, 0 if failed.  then $output that contains either a success message or customized error messages.  the new code would look like:

 

[html starting the page and layout]

[php echoing the results]

[form code if failed - exit(); if successful]"

 

woohoo!!! keep on drivin!

[Development advice please]

Guys,

 

Thank you for all you do. This really is a great place.

 

After developing a site and uploading then continuing to update the code, I am looking for a habitual process for updating files while not be afraid of losing the old code in case something goes wrong. I cant seem to get my head around the best method of naming, saving, removing, panicking...etc.

 

Just looking for your methods of the development process in terms of file organization.

 

I would list what I do now but I never do the same thing twice....

 

You guys are unbelievable. Google is awesome.
