so you only want the link active once user has changed any value? I think that would be a java thing, rather than php

what happens if you just echo $_POST[fld_turns]? Also how come you've set the input box for this to size 3, but if the value is 1 - 10 then it would only ever be 2? (I can't see that affecting anything, I'm just pinickity like that )

should it not be $_POST[fld_turns]?

something like: foreach($_POST as $field => $value) { if($value == "") { $blankarray[]; } } if(sizeof($blankarray) == 0) { die("There are blank fields"); //put or do whatever you want here }

yup, you should be able to do, after your insert statement set all the values to "", and then before inserting I presume you have a bit of code which prevents blank entries?

could you not just add something which checks whether the form was submitted or not? I presume that the webcrawler just accesses the directory of the website and goes into each page individually? if so that, or could you not jst do an ifstatement against the IP address of the visitor? and if it matches the webcrawler one just die() the code if not then execute it? Sorry if thats not right, not sure how the webcrawlers work

I didn't think require_once needed brackets, but I could be wrong about that.
