You need to add value attributes to the checkbox elements:
<tr>
<td class="field_Name">Hobbies :<b style="color:red">*</b></td>
<td><input name="hobbies" value="cricket" type="checkbox" id="hobbies" class="inputfield_Name" />Cricket
<input name="hobbies" value="singing" type="checkbox" />Singing
<input name="hobbies" value="travelling" type="checkbox" />Travling</td>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<input name="hobbies" value="writing" type="checkbox" class="inputfield_Name"/>Writing
<input name="hobbies" value="teaching" type="checkbox" />Teaching
<input name="hobbies" value="driving" type="checkbox" />Driving
</td>
</tr>

Lost PHP variable, last seen in Chrome, answers to the name $quote_date

I can't seem to find my PHP variable $quote_date. I have a form that grabs job records from the database and displays a job's current progress in the form ready to be edited, submitted and updated to the database. All of the job's other records are being collected and displayed correctly but the $quote_date is missing in action. Yet when I echo the $quote_date after the renderForm() function is executed it appears to really exist, at least at that point. Why is the $quote_date not being displayed in the form?
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Allow the user to both create new records and edit existing records.
// Connect to the database.
$connect = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');
if ( !$connect ) {
die( 'connect error: '.mysqli_connect_error() );
}
// creates the new/edit record form.
// since this form is used multiple times in this file, I have made it a function that is easily reusable
function renderForm($error = '', $id = '', $start_date = '', $company = '', $stock_code = '', $card_quantity = '', $fiske_print = '', $carrier_quantity = '', $quoted = '', $quote_details = '', $quoted_date = '', $quote_accepted = '', $quote_accepted_date = '', $proof_sent = '', $proof_sent_date = '', $proof_approved = '', $proof_approved_date = '', $printed = '', $print_date = '', $closed_loop_allocated = '', $invoiced = '', $invoiced_date = '', $posted = '', $tracking_number = '', $postal_date = '', $paid = '', $is_bulk_load = '', $bulk_funds_recieved = '', $cards_loaded = '', $notes = '', $completed = '')

I have tried your code, its working fine. See the below screenshot.
If you want to validate your form before submit then use the commented javascript/client-side validation and if you want to validate it afterwards then use your php/server-side validation.
Let me know if you are facing any other problem.

PHP $_POST Form validation and Postback

I am working on an assignment for my PHP1 Class and we are working on sticky forms, my assignment is to write an order form that validates that both a name is entered and a phone model is selected and if both are filled posts that data back to the page and if one or both is missing an error message is posted back to the page. Accessories are Optional. Currently the script will post an error if no phone is selected and a name is input into the form, it will post an error if both are missing, but if a name is missing and a phone is selected then it will not flag as an error and continue processing the script back to the page. I attempted to right a function to validate that both the userName text field AND a phones radio button are selected to be true or if false then the error message is presented. Can anyone tell me why my form is processing the data when only a phone model is selected and the name field is blank?

isset() for strings returns true for an empty string.
https://www.virendrachandak.com/techtalk/php-isset-vs-empty-vs-is_null/
Try Empty()
edit: please note that if the field has a space in it, it will not be counted as empty. You should probably use Trim() on the result to ensure that there is no whitespace.

You need to echo the result..
replace
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
calcResults();
}
with
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
echo calcResults();
}

Your form has invalid html code. In short, just use:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Firstname:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="firstname" ></td>
<td><span class="error">* <?php echo $firstnameErr;?></span><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lastname:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="lastname" ></td>
<td><span class="error">* <?php echo $lastnameErr;?></span><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email"></td>
<td><span class="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Phone:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="number"><br /><br /><td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" >
</form>
More about it:
1. After opening the <table> element, next one must be table row, so <form> must be a wrapper to your table.
2. You have placed breaks after closing the </td> tag, which is wrong - they should be inside table cell.
3. Ref: undefined index, guess it is only a warning that you are using the $_POST variable that does not exist.

I feel your insert query is not right, try the query below.
$sql="INSERT INTO employee (firstname, lastname, email, phone ) VALUES ('".$_POST['firstname']."','".$_POST['lastname']."','".$_POST['email']."','".$_POST['number']."')";

How to keep input in fields after form submitted for further update

I wonder is it possible to keep the user input inside form field after form submitted, so that the user can update the entry. I've a html registration form [with some JS validation], then a php file to insert data to sql & meanwhile display back the inserted data in a table view. i also include the form's html code in php file so i can see the form after being submitted. but i couldn't keep the data in the field after form submitted! here is the form:

I've tried to add like value="<? echo "$row['staffid']"?>" in the form's field at php file but no luck! I've only basic in php. So, any help? thank you!

thanks all, its finally working :) i've used value="<?php echo isset($_POST['myField']) ? $_POST['myField'] : 'myField_db' ?>" inside the input tag. so, its like: <input type="text" name="myField" value="<?php echo isset($_POST['myField']) ? $_POST['myField'] : 'myField_db' ?>" /> where myField is input name & myField_db is the column name from database.

Take the form posted values just above your html code like this
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"]=='Submit') {
$name=$_POST["name"];
}
?>
And echo it in your html form.
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="45" value="<? echo $name?>"/>

I've used this function a few times; quite handy
function getPost($field){
return (isset($_POST[$field]) && $_POST[$field] != "" ? $_POST[$field] : "");
}
Usage
<input type="text" name="contact" value="<?php echo getPost("contact"); ?>" />
This is for the cases where a user submits information and is for some reason sent back to the form again - perhaps their entries didn't pass PHP validation, for example.
