This requires a little extra code but provides the user with more information. The demo can be seen <a href="/stuff/improved_error_checking.php">here</a> and the source code <a href="/stuff/improved_error_checking.txt">here</a>. This does bloat the HTML input fields even more which could be reduced by using PHP to build parts, or all of the HTML input field outside of the HTML to keep it clean. However I am concerned with the ease of adding these error checks when creating new input fields in favour of extra code.
