Hey,
I have now put my forms etc into functions so I can maintain them in a single page .. but where include 'news.php'; showed the form again when a field was missed obviously doesnt work using function with switch ..
How can I acheive the same thing now ?

Hi,
Code: Select all
if form is not submitted OR submitted but filled incorrectly
{
// show form again
}
else if form is submitted and filled correctly
{
// include and output news.php
}
Don't know if this was the question ... pehaps you should reask it more clearly...

Hey ..
I will explain it with more depth ..
I had my edit news script on seperate pages .. ie the form was on one page while the script to make the updates was on another page ..
news.php - newsparse.php
I have now put then into one page using:
Code: Select all
function news() {
bla bla
}
function editnews() {
bla bla
}
switch ($_REQUESTї'cmd']) {
case 'news':
news ();
break;
case 'newsparse':
dbconnect ();
newsparse ();
break;
as an example ...
Before when the error checking took place the form was on news.php .. If a field was not filled in I was able to show the form again .. ie:
Code: Select all
if(!$news){
echo ("Error! Fields marked * are required.");
include 'news.php';
return;
Now that I am using functions as above, I am not sure how to display the form again when required fields are missed?
Hopefully thats clearer ..
Thanks

watch the insults now..
I would guess that news() displays the news? call it.
