Defining what fields have actually been left blank

[sphinx]

Hello,

 

I'm using the below code to determine whether fields have been left blank, however, it only a standard sentence, i'd like to customise it, like: "Email has been left blank" or The email and message has been left blank. My best preference would be to bullet point each line. IE:

 

• Email has been left blank.
  
• Message has been left blank.
  

 

$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
        $user_message = $_POST['message'];	
if(empty($name)|| empty($visitor_email)|| empty($user_message))
{
	$errors .= "\n Some of the above fields have not been filled in.<br><br> ";	
}

 

Many thanks.

c'mon, I'm sure you can figure it out by looking at your code.

 

Here's a "basic" version:

<?php
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$visitor_email = trim($_POST['email']);
$user_message = trim($_POST['message']);
if(empty($name){
$errors .= "<br />Name is empty.";
}
if(empty($visitor_email){
$errors .= "<br />Email is empty.";
}
if(empty($user_message){
$errors .= "<br />User Message is empty.";
}
?>

oppss, typo:

<?php
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$visitor_email = trim($_POST['email']);
$user_message = trim($_POST['message']);
if(empty($name)){
$errors .= "<br />Name is empty.";
}
if(empty($visitor_email)){
$errors .= "<br />Email is empty.";
}
if(empty($user_message)){
$errors .= "<br />User Message is empty.";
}
?>

 

trim will remove any empty spaces from the beginning and end of variables, and other characters (hidden line breaks)... check it out: trim
