PHP5 - From Validation Question
I have a form that uses the post array and directs back to itself after the user enters their information and hits the submit button. The form then directs back to itself to go through the php script and form validation code. If one of the text fields fails the form validation script the user has to enter ALL the information over again. How do I allow the user to only enter in the failed text fields while the other fields remain populated?

You can insert the value that way, provided that it is a text field, but you should clearly mark (highlight with CSS is one way) which fields caused an error. You could also set correct fields as "disabled" but that really isn't necessary, and isn't very user friendly in that they might want to change a phone number or some other data, even though your validation determined that it was correct.
