Ok, I just did a bunch of looking around and found some ways to validate a form. I am trying to just validate the form, no sending to the database yet. I am using 2 different files, one for the functions, and one for the form and actual validation. When I hit submit, I get no feedback, and everything in the boxes dissappear. Here is the link to it running: [a href=\"http://anylance.blogmyway.com/registration.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://anylance.blogmyway.com/registration.php[/a] These are the files: functions.php [code] <?php function isLetters($element) { return !preg_match ("/[^A-z]/", $element); } function checkLength($string, $min, $max) { $length = strlen ($string); if (($length < $min) || ($length > $max)) { return FALSE; } else { return TRUE; } } function checkEmail($email) { $pattern = "/^[A-z0-9\._-]+" . "@" . "[A-z0-9][A-z0-9-]*" . "(\.[A-z0-9_-]+)*" . "\.([A-z]{2,6})$/"; return preg_match ($pattern, $email); } function isSame($string1, $string2) { if ($string1 != $string2) { return FALSE; } else { return TRUE; } } function checkPhone($phonenumber,$useareacode=true) { if ( preg_match("/^[ ]*[(]{0,1}[ ]*[0-9]{3,3}[ ]*[)]{0,1}[-]{0,1}[ ]*[0-9]{3,3}[ ]*[-]{0,1}[ ]*[0-9]{4,4}[ ]*$/",$phonenumber) || (preg_match("/^[ ]*[0-9]{3,3}[ ]*[-]{0,1}[ ]*[0-9]{4,4}[ ]*$/",$phonenumber) && !$useareacode)) return eregi_replace("[^0-9]", "", $phonenumber); return FALSE; } ?> [/code] registration.php [code] <html> <head> <!--QrV3s1--> <title>AnyLance - Anything You Need At Any Price You Want</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- BODY { font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; } td { font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:003333; } --> </STYLE> </head> <?php require_once ('functions.php'); $valid = TRUE; if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) { foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { $$key = $value; } $valid = $fn = checkLength($fname, 1, 30); $us = checkLength($username, 5, 30); $valid = $valid && $us; $fn2 = isLetters($username); $valid = $valid && $fn2; $em = checkEmail($email); $valid = $valid && $em; $ps2 = $password == $passwordc; $valid = $valid && $ps2; $em2 = $email == $emailc; $valid = $valid && $em2; $ph = checkPhone($number); $valid = $valid && $ph; if ($valid) { echo "Form filled successfully!"; exit; } } else { $fn = $ln = $us = $ph = $fn2 = $em = $ps = $ps2 = $em2 = TRUE; } ?> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <BR> <table width="750" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <TR><TD width=750> <font style="font-family:arial;font-size:20px;color:000000;"> <h4> Client Registration: </h4> </font><BR> <center> <table width="80%" border="1" bgcolor="whitesmoke" bordercolor="006666" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"> <TR><TD width="80%"> <form name="registerc" action="registration.php" method="post"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <TR><TD width="100%" colspan="2"> <B>Registering at AnyLance is easy.
