Does anyone know how to apply a class to a form?

Yes, thanks the book is on order hasn't arrived yet.
I have shown below what is used for this class:
This is what is used on the form page in the demo of this class.
Will dreamweaver allow me to include this class with the insert record etc.
I have noted in Google searches that people have had trouble with includes using dreamweaver. I am using dreamweaver 2004 not dreamweaver 8.
I tried to use the examples for form validation using php from David Powers and it worked brilliantly the first time and when I turned the computer on the next day it wouldn't. It now will not validate anything on that page no matter what I change. Even if I use the Check Username exists or anything I used previously.
I must have a bug or something.
So I am a little terrified of changing my files as I spent many weeks on this. So I thought my alternative was to use this class and include it within.

include("validation_class.php");
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$example = new Validate_fields;
$example->check_4html = true;
$example->add_text_field("Simple_text", $_POST['string'], "text", "y");
$example->add_num_field("Number", $_POST['number'], "number", "n", 0, 5);
$example->add_num_field("Number_with_decimals", $_POST['decimal'], "decimal", "n", 2);
$example->add_date_field("Euro_date", $_POST['date'], "date", "eu", "n");
$example->add_check_box("Check_box", "check", "checkbox");
$example->add_link_field("Email_address", $_POST['email'], "email");
$example->add_link_field("internet_link", $_POST['url'], "url", "n");
if ($example->validation()) {
$error = "All form fields are valid!"; // replace this text if you like...
} else {
$error = $example->create_msg();
}
}
?>



Thanks

Depending on the class you have found it sounds like you might have
trouble.

Currently there is a special offer on WebAssist's Validation Toolkit.
I use it and like it and you might benefit from the help files and
tutorials. Details here:

Hi thanks - I am not very fluent in coding, very slowly learning.
I still find that I can code some php and it works but as soon as I place it in amongst Dreamweaver code it doesn't work.
So this is why I thought maybe applying a class that validates all alternatives within a form may help.
Thanks again

How fluent are you with PHP coding?
