Make A Field Required

[jhottinger]

Hi all,

 

please can someone advise how i can make the below code appear as a required field

 

 global $CONFIG;
 echo "<tr><th>";
 echo "{$GLOBALS['strTms_Add_TimeUsed']}";
 echo "</th><td>";
 echo "<input type='text' size='12' name='tms_add_timeused'></td></tr>";
 return;
}
?>

 

thanks

there are many ways. the most common is just put a red " * " next the field name, and use simple php validation to check whether the entry is already in use in the database or whether the user has actually entered anything into the field when submit is triggered, and you can also use it check whther the charaters the user input are characters that are accepted
