Hello all,
Currently I'm working on a improved add routine (add.cgi). For a site I modified add.cgi that add.cgi handles general (personal) data and 7 questions. Because ALL questions are important and need to be answered I set them all to required.
BUT there's a problem: I would like to know people's personal data anyway, even if they don't pass the validation in add.cgi. (So I can contact them in person.) My first thoughts was editting add.cgi to write every failed entry to a special error-database. But that would create a big error-database, because It would be possible that I would receive 5 or even more error from 1 person. My second thought, was to make a simmular function as rate.cgi so add.cgi would generate a seperate file for every entry where It would keep the up-to-date input of all enties (correct and wrong). And so I could read all input to see which entries I need to contact.
...and my last thought was asking people of the forum of a sollution!
Who would like to give me their thought or even sollutions?
