Hi Guys,

 

At the moment, i have a register.html page which is a register form which when submitted, directs to register_process.php which does all the php to validate the entries, and throw out errors if needed and output a registration complete message to the user and then redirect them to a member screen.

 

The question i want to ask is rather than having errors such as "Username already taken" to appear on register_process.php page, can i have the errors appear next to my username field on my form on register.html?? much like all professional websites do??

 

What is the procedure for this? do i have to include my form and my php script all on one page??

 

Please help, any suggestions will be greatly received

 

I have included my code below, and the url to my website is www.go4home.co.uk

 

Thankyou

 

Craig
