PHP Form Validation Tutorials

I need to create a form validation system where the user will be returned to the form with the valid data still in the form and the bad data barked for correction.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for that sort of thing?

Here's one way to do it:

<?php
if($_POST) {

   // create short variable names
   $name = htmlentities(trim($_POST['name']));
   $email = htmlentities(trim($_POST['email']));

   // process form
} else {

   // create short variable names
   // they should have the same names as the ones created above
   $name = NULL;
   $email = NULL;
}

// begin page 
?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form ...>
   <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?=$name?>" />
   <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?=$email?>" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps!

Yes, but there are plenty of PHP form validation tutorials out there, plus you already offered him your code. I was simply providing a method to solve his request that "the user will be returned to the form with the valid data still in the form." :)

It looks like your form has just what I'm looking for.

Would be very grateful if you'd post the code.

Cheers.
