registration form submission

i have a registration form, which checks for errors before the form is submitted.  i was told then to use an if else statement to submit the form on the same page, but i would prefer to have the user go to a confirmation page instead.  i have the form submitting to itself to check for errors.  any ideas as to how i can do this?

Should be simple enough.

<?php

     if(isset($_POST['submit'])) // when your submit button has name="submit"

     {

          // code for your confirmation page

     }

     else

     {

          // code for your page with the form

     }

?>

here is how i modified the code:

<?php
     if(isset($_POST['register']) && empty($errors)) // when your submit button has name="submit"
     {
         echo "the form will have been submitted!";
     }
     else
     {
         echo "registration form displayed here...";
     }
?>

i want to make sure that the user did not leave any empty fields.  but i get "  the form will have been submitted" when i submit it with empty fields....

i think i actually just put the required fields into an array, and checked if they were in there, and if they were, and that field was empty, an error message was thrown.


Ahh, so the problem is that you are not checking whether each field is filled, but whether atleast one field is filled.  Here's another solution:

<?php

    $valid = true;

    foreach ($errors as &$value)

    {
        if ($value == "")

        {

             $valid = false;

        }
    }

    if(isset($_POST['register']) && $valid)
    {
        echo "the form will have been submitted!";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "registration form displayed here...";
    }
?>
