I want the contents of the if statement to run ONLY when the form has been validated with JavaScript, it runs regardless of whether the value returns is true or false.
I'm guessing what I need to do is similar to
if (isset($_POST['submit']) && onsubmit == true)
Obviously that's not right, but I don't know how to do it.
I know validating with php is a much more logical approach, but I need to demonstrate use of JavaScript.
"onsubmit"inside the PHP if, the onsubmit already ran when without errors on front when it returnedtrueand continued the form submission.
