Sorry, but we don't do homework for you.
Google "PHP form validation."

dreamweaver does it for you very simply.... but your teacher isn't going to believe that you wrote that... it's a little complex.

are you supposed to use a certain language (php, asp, javascript, cf, etc...)?

tizag tutorials (http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascriptform.php) are pretty good.... (if you're supposed to do it in Javascript, which I imagine is the case)

Hey mate, it would be ok if i did it in dreamweaver thats what i am doing it in anyway.

it can be a simple html validate if need be, i tried searching php validation but it was a little over my head, what i really would lke is something simple in javascript maybe that goes like :

if textbox1, textbox2 etc = "" then stop, clear textboxes and ask to enter the correct information

something like that anyway :) contrary to what the poster above thinks i'm not trying to get it done for me as i need to learn otherwise in the real world when i leave uni i wnt know what im doing :)
