Required fields in registration end edit profile

I am trying to determine how to make certain fields required in the new user registration and change info forms. Is this something that can be handled by a database modification or is it coded directly into the php?

I guess I should have mentioned that I am using NSN Your Account. The mod that you have suggested will replace key files in my version breaking its functionality (in other words I already tried that. *LOL*) and is in fact more suited for adding fields, I only want to make a few required. That is why I asked how to make them required.

Thank you for the quick reply though! That is one of the wonderful things about this site, the staff are very friendly and quick to reply. Smile

Makiing existing ones requireds not so hard.
Before the insert statment add something like this.
if( $email == "" ) error( "E-mail required" );

In mainfile.php or the same file add something like this to print out pretty error pages.

function error( $error )
{
include("header.php");
OpenTable();
echo "Error: $error</center>\n";
echo "<a href=\"javascript:history.back()\">Back</a>\n";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
mysql_close();
exit;
}

Your validation of the $_POST variables could be a lot more complex this just looks to see if it has a value and if there is none throws and error page up.
