its working now with some changes but still i havent understand this thing:-


If im putting this code on action="<?php echo $_SERVER; ?>" then its working sending data to mysql table

if im putting some link to this like action="index.php" its not working why????

any one have answer to this

why do you need

if ($len >0)
{ 

}

there are better ways of checking if it is empty. make sure that you are posting the data to itself though. you can just use the file name

why do you need

if ($len >0)
{ 

}

ok then can u tell me any ideas?

if legth is 0 on input field it gives error?


why its working on it self and not in the other page

ok.

if(empty($_POST['fname'])){
   echo "Empty first name!";
}
//or you can also do it this way
if($_POST['fname']==""){
 echo "Empty first name!";
}

as for what you are trying to do. is that php code in the other page? i am lost when you say

why its working on it self and not in the other page

as far as i know this is one page and if you post the data on itself then it will process it. but if you post the data on another page you just have to make sure that, that code is in that page

ok.

if(empty($_POST['fname'])){
   echo "Empty first name!";
}
//or you can also do it this way
if($_POST['fname']==""){
 echo "Empty first name!";
}

thanx for the help i understand now.
but what should i do i want that if data send goto other page for further process i mean for more information i can give a hyper link below it will not look good.

well Yeah, php form processing is in the target page not the form page
and validation failure is something like
if !$post['variable'] {header ("location: $_SERVER['http_referer']"); }[code=php]if !$post {header ("location: $_SERVER"); }

thanx for the help guys its solved appreciate thanx to all posters.
