for example in the email field, the email given by user is invalid so the error message will appear but the name field would still be retained with the name given by user. how do i accomplish that? as u can see ive tried using <?=@$name?> and also <?php echo $name?> but those didnt work. And i dont wanna use javascript because well what if the user has javascrit turned off then no validation will happen and also im keepping to languages i know coz my deadline is tmr. This validation part where the values are retained is just a last minute addition. thanks in advance for any help!
