    <p>Okay so I have a form and within this form are a bunch of required fields. The birthday part of this form consists of 3 fields: month, day, and year. Now what I want to do is have the words "Month:", "Day:", and "Year:" at the top of the drop down lists, BUT I do not want these options to be acceptable answers! When I submit the form without selecting an actual month, day, and year, it should say that the month, day, and year are required when I print the errors! How can I accomplish that? My "if statements" that make the fields required are at the bottom of this code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;ul id="register"&gt; &lt;li&gt; Birthday: &lt;select name="month"&gt; &lt;option value="month"&gt;Month:&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="January"&gt;January&lt;/option&gt; //all the other months &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="day"&gt; &lt;option value="day"&gt;Day:&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt; //all the other days of the month &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="year"&gt; &lt;option value="year"&gt;Year:&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2013"&gt;2013&lt;/option&gt; //more year options &lt;/select&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="registrationform" value="Sign up"&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;?php if (!empty($_POST['registrationform'])) { if(isset($_POST['registrationform'])){ $required_fields = array('month', 'day', 'year'); foreach ( $required_fields as $key=&gt;$value) { if (!isset($_POST[$value]) || $_POST[$value]=='') { $errors[$value] = $key." is required"; } } print_r($errors); } } ?&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
