Hi, how can I put an specific error message in my form where the error is. So for example, if the user forgott to enter an E-Mail adress, I want a error-message next to the field for E-Mails.
Thanx for help, Alex

Hi Alex,
I'm a newbie myself, but here's how I would go about it. When the form is submitted, you check each form input for a valid entry. If input is invalid, you could set an "invalid variable" corresponding with the name of the field, like this:
Code:if (THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS WRONG) { $invalidemail = 1; }
Code:<?php if ($invalidemail) { echo("The Email address you provided was wrong."); } ?> Email address: <INPUT TYPE="text" name="email">
Good luck !
