everything doesnt make sense. does anyone know of a very SIMPLE good script to make required fields. ive seen a lot but i dont know what they mean. most of them look like they do like nothing or not all the way. i dont want to use javascript because it can be disabled easily. how about php? anyone know i need to make required fields to like 5 of my about 15 inputs in my form on this page http://socialemo.com/register.php
i also dont know where to put the script in my code:
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/securimage/securimage.php';
$securimage = new Securimage();
if ($securimage->check($_POST['captcha_code']) == false) {
// the code was incorrect
// handle the error accordingly with your other error checking
// or you can do something really basic like this
die('The code you entered was incorrect. go back and try again.');
}
if ($_POST['form_submitted'] == '1') {
## Form submitted, user registering!
} else{
## No value found, user activating account!
}
mysql_connect("localhost", datasbase, pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("tablenamething") or die(mysql_error());
if ($_POST['form_submitted'] == '1') {
##User is registering, insert data until we can activate it
$activationKey = mt_rand() . mt_rand() . mt_rand() . mt_rand() . mt_rand();
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[username]);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[password]);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[email]);
$sex = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[sex]);
$age = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[age]);
$location = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[location]);
$ethnicity = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[ethnicity]);
$marital = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[marital]);
$sexuality = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[sexuality]);
$haircolor = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[haircolor]);
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[name]);
$eye = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[eye]);
$hairtype = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[hairtype]);
$weight = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[weight]);
$height = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[height]);
$ip = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[ip]);
$date = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[date]);
$sql="INSERT INTO users (username, password, email, sex, age, location, ethnicity, marital, sexuality, haircolor, name, eye, hairtype, weight, height, ip, date, activationkey, status) VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$email', '$sex', '$age', '$location', '$ethnicity', '$marital', '$sexuality', '$haircolor', '$name', '$eye', '$hairtype', '$weight', '$height', '$ip', '$date', '$activationKey', 'verify')";
if (!mysql_query($sql))
{

}
else {

$queryString = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM users";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
