you can do it with javascript:
for example:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate(form)
{
if (form.text1.value == "")
{
document.getElementById("txterror").innerHTML="missing fields";
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="form1" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
<p><span id="txterror"></span></p>
<input type="text" name="text1" />
<input type="submit" name="submit"/>
</form> vijukumar 0 Light Poster

here I made your validation part:Just insert the database insertion where I have placed the comment,ok?
<?php
//if the user clicks submit button...
if ($_POST['Submit'])
{
//check for missing fields
if ($_POST['admin_name']=="")
{
$name_missing="missing fields";
}
elseif($_POST['admin_password']=="")
{
$pass_missing="missing fields";
}
else
{
//do your insertion in database here...
}
}
?>
