PHP - How Do I Get Information From Fields In Different Rows

I am writing an email form for my site with some simple validation. I have the error messages working just fine. They do what they are supposed to do.

However, when the form is brought back up to have the errors fixed. It puts a "1" in the field box. I looked at the code and I do not see where the "1" is coming from.

I am also in the process of trying to figure out how to send email through my mail account using smtp. I want to see if it is going to send me the information that I ask for or the "1". Currently all of my work is being done on my localhost server

Here is the code that I am using

Code: [Select]
<?php

$email_form = "<form action='' target='' id='contactform' method='post'>\n";
$email_form .="<p class='form_header'>Contact us</p>\n";
$email_form .= "<fieldset>\n";
$email_form .= "<P>\n";
$email_form .= "<label for='name'><em>*</em> Your Name:</label>\n";
$email_form .= "<input type='text' name='name' id='name' value=".(isset($_POST['name']))." />\n";
$email_form .= "</p>\n";
$email_form .= "<p>\n";
$email_form .= "<label for='email'><em>*</em> E-mail:</label>\n";
$email_form .= "<input type='text'  name='email' id='email' value=".(isset($_POST['email']))." />\n";
$email_form .= "</p>\n";
$email_form .= "<p>\n";
$email_form .= "<label for='subject'>Subject:</label>\n";
$email_form .= "<input type='text' name='subject' id='subject' value=".(isset($_POST['subject']))." />\n";
$email_form .= "</p>\n";
$email_form .= "<p>\n";
$email_form .= "<label for='message'><em>*</em> Message:</label>\n";
$email_form .= "<textarea name='message' id='message'>".(isset($_POST['message']))."</textarea>\n";
$email_form .= "</p>\n";
$email_form .= "<input type='submit' id='submit' value='Submit!' name='submitted' /><br />\n";
$email_form .= "<p class='required'>Fields marked with an asterik(*) are required</p>\n";
$email_form .= "</fieldset>\n";

if (!isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
    echo "$email_form";
}
else {

    $email = (isset($_POST['email']));
    $to = "your@email.co.uk";

        if ($_POST['name'] == "") {

        }
    }
    else {

    }

    if ($_POST['email'] != "") {
        $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
        if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
            $errors .= "$email is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid email address.<br/>";
        }
    }

        echo "Thank you for visiting Michael48060.</p>\n";
    }

    else
        echo "$email_form";

}
?>

When someone types in thier information in my Sign Up form i want the information they entered to stay after the page refresh.

For example: I type in my information, but in the email field i forget the '@' symbol and then hit "Sign Up". Then the page would refresh and i would get an error message saying "You must enter a valid email address!" and all the information i typed in before would be gone and i'd have to start over with everything..

My question is, how can i make so that all the information I entered stays after the page refresh? Is there a simple way to do it or do I have to rewrite all my code? (i've provided it below)

I know that you can use jQuery, AJAX and JS to acomplish this and also show the error message without refreshing the page but I don't know much about that and i'm trying to use as little JS as I can. So if there is another easier way?

Here is my PHP script that holds the validation process and shows the errors etc:
<?php

Hi all,

So I'm not completely sure on how to do this, but basically this i what i want.

I want the users to be able to create "fields" in my table, so let's say we have a structure like this:

Field 1   Field 2   Field 3
Data 1   Data 2   Data 3

Problem is, that i want my users to update both the <td> and <tr> information via mysql, without altering the database.
And I'm not sure on how I can make sure, that everything gets out in the right order.

I have this so far:

Code: [Select]
<table id="sort-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<?PHP
echo ' <td> Identifier </td> ';

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM fields ORDER BY `order`");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))


{

echo ' <td> ' . $row["name"] . ' </td> ';
}
?>
<th style="width:128px">Options</th>

</tr>
</thead>
This will display the field 1, 2, 3 etc..

My problem is.. How do i get the content displayed in the right order to the right fields.. :/

I hope you understand me, if not, please tell me so I can elaborate ^_^
I know this might seems like a noob question, and I'm sorry that I couldn't search, but I didn't know what to search for.

Hey guys,   Thank you in advance... here is my situation, I have a form with three (3) fields in it, the 'student name' is unlimited textfield with an "add more" button to it and I have two select fields ('number of shirts' and 'trophies') that depend on the number of entries for 'student name'...   I want to create the select fields based on this math, for as many 'student name' entries:   1- i want to have the select form for 'number of shirts' to be 0 up to that number... so if there are 6 'student name' entries, the select options will be 0,1,3,4,5,6,7 2- I want to have the select form for 'trophies' to be 5 'student name' entries to 1 'trophies', for example if there are 6 'student name' entries, the select options will be 0,1... if there are 13 entries, options will be 0,1,2... So if there are less than 5 'student name' entries, the select field will not show (hidden)   of course if there are no 'student name' entries, these two fields won't show up (hidden)   let me know if that make sense and ANY help or directions will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.   Thanks guys!  

what Im basically trying to do is just like a phpmyadmin function... you select rows you want to update with a checkbox and then it takes you to a page where the rows that are clicked are shown in forms so that you can view and edit info in them... and then have 1 submit button to update them all at once.
