    copied!<p>There is probably a simple solution for this but i'm not very proficient in php! Basically I want to submit a form and the user be returned with a thank you overlay image without refresh. I've managed to get this to work BUT now the form validating isn't working properly...</p> <p>I need to make my overlay only appear after the form validating is successful, if it isn't successful I need to display the error instead of the thank you overlay...</p> <p>I know I could use ajax for this form but I don't want to rely on javascript!</p> <p>At the minute the validating is working, but the image is being overlayed on top of it...</p> <p>This is php code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if($_POST['formSubmit'] == "Submit") { $errorMessage = ""; if(empty($_POST['formName'])) { $errorMessage .= "&lt;li&gt;You forgot to enter your name&lt;/li&gt;"; } if(empty($_POST['formTown'])) { $errorMessage .= "&lt;li&gt;You forgot to enter your town&lt;/li&gt;"; } $varName = $_POST['formName']; $varTown = $_POST['formTown']; $varAge = $_POST['formAge']; $varEmail = $_POST['formEmail']; $varOne = $_POST['hidden-one']; $varTwo = $_POST['hidden-two']; $varThree = $_POST['hidden-three']; $varFour = $_POST['hidden-four']; $varFive = $_POST['hidden-five']; if(empty($errorMessage)) { $fs = fopen("mydata.csv","a"); fwrite($fs,"\n" . $varName . ", " . $varTown . ", " . $varAge . ", " . $varEmail . ", " . $varOne . $varTwo . $varThree . $varFour . $varFive); fclose($fs); } } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is my html (with the php code):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_POST['formSubmit'])) { print "&lt;div class=\"thank-you\"&gt;&lt;a href='enter.php'&gt;&lt;img src='images/thankyou-overlay.png'/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n"; } ?&gt; &lt;div id="mainContainer"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just complete your entry details below.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;?php if(!empty($errorMessage)) { echo("&lt;p&gt;There was an error with your form:&lt;/p&gt;\n"); echo("&lt;ul&gt;" . $errorMessage . "&lt;/ul&gt;\n"); } ?&gt; &lt;form action="&lt;? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?&gt;" method="post" target="_self"&gt; &lt;div class="inputContainer"&gt; &lt;label class="text" name="name"&gt;Full Name:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" class="box" name="formName" value="&lt;?=$varName;?&gt;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ... more html inputs... &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>
