Hello friends, I have a html form saved as join.html as below

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="check.php">
 Name:
 <label>
 <input name="name" type="text" id="name" />
 </label>
 <p>Email: 
   <label>
   <input name="email" type="text" id="email" />
   </label>
 </p>
 <p>
   <label>
   <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
   </label>
</p>
</form>

 

and a php file saved as ckeck.php as below;

<?php
if(!empty($_POST[submit]))
{
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[name]);
$email=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[name]);
if($name=="")
echo "Enter your Name.<br>";
elseif ($email=="")
echo "Enter your Email.<br>";
else
echo "Thank you.";
}
?>

If any of the field is empty, I will be directed to check.php to see the error. I will want the error message to be echoed at the top of the form without be directed to the ckeck.php and without placing the php code on top of the form in join.html

 

Is this possible? if not which other option do i have?

 

regards

You could also do some pre-posting error checking to see if there is anything that needs amending using javascript or even ajax
