I have a contact form that when fully filled out returns an "Error:" message at top of my forum, though has no errors in it. I have it set up so that if there is an error, it says "Error:" then it will list the various errors in the form. When the entire form is filled out correctly, it says error without any errors listed! Here is my script, and a link to the form:

[a href=\"http://carbenco.com/index.php?menu=contact\" target=\"_blank\"]http://carbenco.com/index.php?menu=contact[/a]


[code]
<?php
header("Cache-control: private");

if(isset($sent)) {
$content2 .= 'Your message has been sent.';
}

if(!isset($sent)) {



if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) {
$problem = FALSE;

if ($problem = TRUE) {
$content2 .= 'Errors:<br />';
}

$_POST['firstname'] = strip_tags($_POST['firstname']);
$_POST['lastname'] = strip_tags($_POST['lastname']);

if (empty ($_POST['firstname'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'Your first name is required<br />';
}

if (empty ($_POST['lastname'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'Your last name is required.<br />';
}

if (empty ($_POST['email1'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'Email Address is a required field.<br />';
}elseif (!preg_match("/.*@.*..*/", $_POST['email1']) OR preg_match("/(<|>)/", $_POST['email1']))
{
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'The email address you chose was incorrect.<br />';
}

if (empty ($_POST['subject'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'You are required to enter a subject.<br />';
}

if (empty ($_POST['body'])) {
$problem = TRUE;
$content2 .= 'You are required to submit a message.<br />';
}


if (!$problem) {

$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email1'];
$body = $_POST['body'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];


$sendmail = "$firstname $lastname
$email

$body";

$sendmail2 = "Hi $firstname $lastname,
This is an automatic message sent to confirm that your following message has been sent in to carbenco:

$body";

mail ('aebstract@gmail.com', 'Contact: Carbenco', $sendmail, 'From: aebstract@gmail.com');
mail ('$email', 'Contact: Carbenco', $sendmail2, 'From: $email');


header ("Location: index.php?menu=contact&sent");


} else {
}
}








$content2 .= '<form action="index.php?menu=contact" method="post">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="textfield" /></form>';

}

?>

[/code]


Thanks.

The conditional operator that tests for equality is "==", not "=" which is the assignment operator.

Your code:
[code]<?php if ($problem = TRUE) ?>[/code]
says ... assign the value TRUE to $problem. Since this succeeds, the "if" suceeds.

Change your code to [code]<?php if ($problem === TRUE) ?>[/code] which will only succeed if the value of $problem is the boolean TRUE.
