    How do I pass variables out of PHP and into html or javascript. I want to use this function to make an error message appear on the html form so the user knows which field she entered wrong.

    Yeh I actually had that written but changed it because some people have short tags turned off :rolleyes: Anyone that preferred a shorter solution probably wouldn't need to pass php variables into javascript anyway...
