    <p>I have my form working and all of the errors and everything works. But if you have an error, it refreshes the page and removes any text that was inserted before the submit button was clicked and you have to re-enter all of the information. Anyway to fix this?</p> <p>I think it has something to do with not using $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] in the action of the form. Instead I have action=""</p> <p>I am doing this because the page that needs to be refreshed with the same info has a variable in its url (monthly_specials_info.php?date=Dec10) that was put there from the last page. </p> <p>I tried using</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?date='.$date.'"&gt; </code></pre> <p>and it produced the right url. but the text was all removed anyway when form was submitted (with errors).. any ideas?</p> <p>Form code:</p> <pre><code>echo ' &lt;div id="specialsForm"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Interested in this coupon? Email us! &lt;/h3&gt; &lt;form method="post" action="'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?date='.$date.'"&gt; Name: &lt;input name="name" type="text" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Email: &lt;input name="email" type="text" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Phone Number: &lt;input name="phone" type="text" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Comment: &lt;br/&gt; &lt;textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="30"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Email"/&gt; &lt;/form&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'; </code></pre> <p>and the vaildator: </p> <pre><code>if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $errors = array(); if (empty($name)) { $errors[] = '&lt;span class="error"&gt;ERROR: Missing Name &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } if (empty($phone) || empty($email)) { $errors[] = '&lt;span class="error"&gt;ERROR: You must insert a phone number or email&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } if (!is_numeric($phone)) { $errors[] = '&lt;span class="error"&gt;ERROR: You must insert a phone number or email&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } if (!preg_match('/[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}/', strtoupper($email))) { $errors[] = '&lt;span class="error"&gt;ERROR: Please Insert a valid Email&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } if ($errors) { echo '&lt;p style="font-weight:bold;text-align:center;"&gt;There were some errors:&lt;/p&gt; '; echo '&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;', implode('&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;', $errors), '&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } else { mail( "email@hotmail.com", "Monthly Specials Email", "Name: $name\n". "Email: $email\n". "Phone Number: $phone\n". "Comment: $comment", "From: $email"); echo'&lt;span id="valid"&gt;Message has been sent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;'; } } </code></pre>

    2. COside note (does not answer your question): do not use `PHP_SELF` like this. Your form is highly susceptible to XSS attacks.

    3. COMmm, i dont' really know where to start: Where do you declare $name? Where do you declared $email? Your forms will redirect to the action url. How can you say that the text is removed? Are you trying to use ajax? OMG i have thousands of other questions in there. How could we solve your problem if you keep this so secret? I'm not gonna use your code, trust me!

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
