I'm screwed to your code of arrays.... your echoing an empty set of arrays??? and yet arrays cannot echoed.... use print() or print_r() to echo the elements of the arrays. and check if whether it runs an error.

[masterjiraya]

OMG. do not use PHP for that.... you'll have to use JAVASCRIPT

[masterjiraya]

basically in javascipt is where validations forms started and it's good for server computing
