Hi, I am trying to build a simple function that tests if certain form fields are blank. If they are, I want the form field to act as a key and the error message to be the value in an array to store the errors. However , I cant get it to append more than one value in the array.

$error = array();

function process($name,$subject) {
  if (empty($name)) {
    $error['name'] = "* Name is blank";
  }
  else if (empty($subject)) {
    $error['subject'] = "* Subject is blank";
  }
  if (!empty($error)) {
    print_r($error);
  }
  else {
    echo 'no errors';
  }
}
process("","");

it only outputs this

Array
(
    [name] => * Name is blank
)

without the subject error in there. Any help would be appreciated.

}
}

You need to do the array definition inside of the function, and return them
