If someone did not select the option on list, then "require" label will appear in form after submit. Seem my code isn't work. what did I do wrong? <?php$buzz = $buzz2 = ""; if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") { if (empty($_POST['select'])) { $buzz = "<h2><color color='red'> >- </color></h2>"; $buzz2 = "<h2><color='red'> -< </color></h2>"; }} ?><!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>XXXXXX</title> <link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head><body><fieldset><h1>XXXXXXX</h1> <table> <form action="login.php" method="post"> <select name="select"> <?php echo $buzz ?><option value="" >Please select the level</option><?php echo $buzz2 ?> <option value="Administrator">Administrator</option> <option value="License">License</option> <option value="Scorer">Scorer</option> </select> <caption>Please login to enter the site below:</caption> <tr><td>Username:</td><td class="td"><input type="text" name="user"></td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td><td class="td"><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Login"></td></tr> </form> </table></fieldset></body></html> Thanks for helping Gary Taylor Edited May 22, 2018 by sigmahokies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taquitosensei 6 Posted May 22, 2018 I think your $buzz and $buzz2 need to come before and after the <select>'s and then you need to make the blank option selected. <?php echo ($buzz)?$buzz:""; ?> <select name="select"> <option value="" <?php echo ($buzz)?"selected":""; ?>>Please select the level</option> <option value="Administrator">Administrator</option> <option value="License">License</option> <option value="Scorer">Scorer</option> <select> <?php echo ($buzz2)?$buzz2:""; ?> Hi everyone, I am trying to have "require" label on form.

Barand 1,398 Posted May 22, 2018 you could try using the "required" property <select name="select" required> <option value="">Please select the level</option> <option value="Administrator">Administrator</option> <option value="License">License</option> <option value="Scorer">Scorer</option> <select> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
