how to check entered text before submitting

Imagine a form with 2 textboxes and one button. I need to check value of these texboxes and if they are not empty to send typed data into some php file. Otherwise to give user warning message that please enter the text in textboxes.

I am sure it is very simple issue. I need to check the value of the textboxes inside the same php file where textboxes are located.

do you want clientside or server side validation, serverside validation will mean the form will be posted.

 

you can use javascript to check if a form input has text in it simply enough.

 

validation using both would make it more robust, as javascript validation can be hacked fairly easily
