Syntax error with if ( !empty () )

Recommended Posts

Ok, I need some help... I got this working, but I can't figure out how to make this post to a database...

 

The problem is that all forms I have worked on in the past are simple in concept, this is a little more advanced than I care to admit. At least in what I am expecting from it.

 

This is an if else form... show form if data is blank, else show data in fields. 

 

If data is blank show two forms and a submit or don't submit button. the Submit button will post the data in the forms, if not submitting it will post "N/A" in each of the forms so the forms won't show up any more. 

 

Does this make any sense?

 

Here is the code.  I think I know how to do it, but the problem is every time I attempt what I am looking to do, I break the script, so it is obviously in the wrong place.

 

Also, mind you this is "box 4-1"... that means there are actually four other boxes above it, so if script has to go in please keep that in mind...

 

Thanks in advance.
