(Another quite newbie...) I have already an online booking form. The Form works fine now and I would like to add on one more issue, but the code ignores what I want to check. I have 4 fields: arrival, departure, no. of persons and comments to check. Scenario 1: All field mentioned above are emtpty: Workes fine and message appears: "You have not provided any booking details". Scenario 2: If arrival (date_start) and departure (date_end) is entered, there should be at least an entry either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax". If not, there should be a message: "You have not provided sufficient booking details". INSTEAD: The booking request is sent, which should not be the case. The code is currently: # all fields empty : arrival, departure, pax and comments - error if(empty($data_start) && empty($data_end) && empty($pax)&& empty($comment)){ exit("You have not specified any booking details to submit to us. <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form. <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us"); exit; } #If arrival and departure date is entered, there should be at least an entry either in the field "comment", or in the field "pax". if(!isset($data_start) && !isset($data_end) && empty($pax) && empty($comment)){ exit("You have not provided sufficient booking details. <br>Please use your browser to go back to the form. <br>If you experience problems with this Form, please e-mail us"); exit; } The form can be tested at http://www.phuket-beachvillas.com/contact-own/contact-it.php Can someone please check and tell me what's wrong with the code ? Thanks to anyone for any hint.

OOOPS... It's me again: Same counts for the message field. It's gone also.... Can anyone advise please, what I have to specify, in order to keep the message field preserved in this sample: <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000042"><br> Further comments:<br></font <font color="#400000" face="Verdana"> <textarea rows="5" name="message" cols="60"></textarea> Thanks again

GREAT this forum - JUST GREAT !... Issue: All data entered into my online form was lost (blanked out) and the form returned correctly with message "wrong verification code", when submitted with the wrong verification code. However, going through this great forum I managed to get all - manually entered - data back ! I placed value="<?php echo $_GET['the_field_name'];?>"/ after each input field. BUT... not so with input fields entered from drop-down menu ! How do I put a similar string for the field "Payment by" in this sample: <tr> <td class="table-inquire" width="47%"> <font face="Verdana" size="1" color="#000042"> Payment by:</font></td> <td class="table-inquire" width="51%" colspan="2"> <font color="#400000" face="Verdana"> <select name="payment" size="1"> <option value="VISA">VISA</option> <option value="MASTER">MASTER</option> <option value="CASH">CASH</option> <option value="T/T Banktransfer">T/T Banktransfer</option> <option selected>Please select</option> </select></font><font size="2" color="#400000" face="Verdana"></font></td> </tr> Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks.
