Form submitting without validation

Form submitting without validation

I have set up server side form validation to run when submit is pressed, but it's not working and the fields I identified as required, are submitting if left blank. I'm also setting a session variable if the form is submitted, and that doesn't appear to be working either.

I'm attaching my page. Thank you.

the page you sent is named register.php, but the forms action is set to post to another page:

<form action="register2.php" method="POST" name="form1" class="clean">

change the action to the same name as the page so that the form is posting to itself.

all form processing must occur on the action page.

But the page has to redirect to register2.php. Can I insert this code somewhere in it then, or how should I go about this?

header('Location: register2.php/');

I'm also going to be adding Universal Email to the page as well, so maybe I should have the page redirect AFTER Universal Email runs?

I changed the action to register.php, but it still doesn't validate - it just returns it to register.php.

Jason, I couldn't wait. I ended up just using some client side validation instead. If I run into this again, I'll post it again. Okay? Thank you! By the way, what happened to the WA client side validation that used to exist?

The Client Side validation was replaced by spry validation.

Does a tutorial exist for how to implement it? Thanks.

Spry validation is a Dreamweaver framework:

So, this won't work on a "normal" form field? It has to be set up with spry first?
