Well you can use Javascript (client-side - can be turned off) or PHP (server-side - requires a page reload but is safer).

PHP is the better option as c010depunkk said, JavaScript can be turned off so there would be no checking.

With php you could check your POST variables to see if they are empty and if they are, display a message

PHP: Select all

if (empty($_POST['field'])
 {
     $errmsg.="Please enter some data<br />";
     echo $message;
 }
