displaying too many error messages at one time to fields I added
I am having a terrible time adding extra form fields to the contact form and applying the validations to my new fields to display error messages correctly. Here is a link to the uploaded contact form: contact.php
For client side spry validations, all the new fields I added display multiple error messages. How do I make it only display the pertinent error message onblur here instead of mulitple error messages on each of the fields that I added?
For server side validations only the phone number text field displays error messages wrong. There are two possible error messages on the phone number text field; one that says "A value is required." if nothing was entered, and a second one that says "Invalid format, please re-enter your phone number." The problem is that if nothing is entered, both error messages appear when the form is submitted; the second message about invalid format should not appear in this case. How do I make it only display the first error message and not the invalid format message, if they have simply neglected to enter anything at all here?

}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["Contact_Name"]))?$_POST["Contact_Name"]:"") . "",true,1);
