Im learning.. PHP of the internet.. while im waiting to get my "php" book for christmas.
anyway I've been trying to learn how to use forms
now, I've gotten so far, what I want to be able to do is

load up form.php
input data there and have it send it' to it's self, and then show me another page with all my information I've just inputted,

now how do I tell PHP not to show me the bottom variables till i've subbmited the page?
I found some reffrence to $PHP_SELF
but it just told me to use it,. but didnt say how, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

just check for those variables that your looking for.... if they are not there or not completely... then show the main page... else show the page with the variables...... easy as pie.

Here's what I do when I use a one page PHP cgi.

In my form you have your submit button. something like
<input type="submit" name="action" value="submit">

Then in your php you put an if statement

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == "submit") {
// then print out all your variables.
} else {
// print out your form
}

Replace this $print = $mode;

code:
echo $mode;

I would suggest that you rewrite it. I have fixed somethings but it still doesn't work.
look at some aviable formscripts and try to learn the structure...

TP: Merry Christmas and a Happy $new = $Year...

code:
<?





		$subject = $_POST['subject'];

		$address = $_POST['address'];

		$body   = $_POST['body'];	



		



function check()

		{ 



	if(empty($subject)) $code = "<font color='red'>You must enter a Subject</font>";

	                  

	elseif (empty($address)) $code = "<font color='red'>You must enter a Email adress</font>";

	

	elseif (empty($body)) $code = "<font color='red'>You cant send a blank message</font>";

	    

	else $code = "Your message have been sent!";

        

		}



		

 

	



$form = "<html>

         <head></title>Form</title></head><body>

         ".$code."

         <form action='<?=PHP_SELF?>'  method='post'>

         <P>Subject <br>      :<input type='text' name='subject' width='200' align=right>

         <br>Email Address<br> :<input type='text' name='address' width='200' align=right>

	<br>Message <br>   :<input tyoe=text  name='body'  rows='10' cols='30' align='right'>

<br>

<input type='submit' name='action' value='submit'>

<br>

<br>

</form>

<body>

</html>";



if ($_POST['action'] == "submit")

	{

		check();

		$mode = $form;

	}



	else

	{

		$mode = $form;

	} 

       

echo $mode; // echo it is!

     

	

?>
