geroid Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I have this validation code to check if values are empty and return a form if any are. The problem is that it keeps returning the form even though there are no empty elements. I've echoed the variables to prove that they all contain values. Is there something wrong with my if else statement in this code. The code seems long but really I'm only concerned with why it is not inserting the record after valiodation is confirmed with the if empty function. Just skip past all the form code to the else statement at the end of the page if you can help. Thanks if (empty($_session['evname']) || empty($_session['venuename']) || empty($_session['addr1']) || empty($_session['town']) || empty($_session['county']) || empty($_session['content']) || empty($_session['day']) || empty($_session['month']) || empty($_session['year']) || empty($_session['time'])) { ?><BR><h3>It appears you forgot to enter your complete details below.

geroid Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 No Herghost, that had no effect at all - same problem. I know these session variables contain values for sure as I'm echoing them back so I'm a little stumped. Any more ideas?

Ken2k7 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 In your IF statement, it should be $_SESSION (case-sensitive). Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157573-if-else-statement-not-working-please-help/#findComment-831089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
