You could utilize javascript to check the required fields. I think there are some on this website, as well as http://dhtmlgoodies.com. If you still wanted to use the PHP to check it, and have the info saved, you could utilize setcookie(); to save the entered items in the form and when it comes back to the form.php page, the values are already in the fields.

The second issue is more urgent but also more simple. When the form is filled out correctly, gets sent and the user arrives on form.php?send=yes and sees and echo telling the it's all good I'd also like to trigger some javascript. Can anyone suggest a trigger?

What kind of javascript are you trying to trigger? You could do the following in form.php:

Code:

if ($send == "yes") {
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Message Sent</title>
<script language="Javascript">
/*Add JS here*/
</script>
</head>
<?
}

elseif ($send == "no") {
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Message Not Sent</title>
<script language="Javascript">
/*Add JS here*/
</script>
</head>

<?php
}

else {
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Send A Message</title>
</head>

<?php
}

?>

Hope this helps out

I'm trying to set a cookie. I had it working in javascript before I learnt anything about PHP so I thought it would be easier to just trigger this script.

Now I'm thinking it might be an idea to rewrite everything in PHP because somethings gone wrong.

Everything is behaving properly in Firefox, including your idea for triggering the javascript. But in IE it's not paying any attention to the cookies at all.

I'll have to check that they.....

DOH!!! The cookies we set to being blocked in IE. It's all working fine now.

Man that makes me happy!
