8,396 PointsHandling multiple forms across a website in PHP
Hello,
I have a website which includes multiple forms across different webpages. I would like to have a single page called process.php that validates the users input and sends an email (all in that one page). How can I send an error message back to where the form is submitted? My script successfully validates the input but if that data is incorrect how can I send the error message back to where it was submitted and then display it. My first attempt was to have the PHP script in the page where the form was, but I have over three forms! This is then difficult to update as I have to go to each page and change the code.
Thank you in advance!

16,280 PointsI'm sorry man, i'm not really sure. On a site that i manage which has many forms, i have a process.php file for each form. I'm afraid that if i try to bundle everything into a single php file it can become unmanageable.
Here is a thread i found on the topic http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10459012/multiple-forms-and-one-processing-page
Hope that helps
