blank screen

[jpratt]

I have the following code:

[code]
<?php
  //ini variables and get values
  $fname = $_POST['fname'];
  $minitial = $_POST['minitial'];
  $lname = $_POST['lname'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $phone = $_POST['phone'];
  $altphone = $_POST['altphone'];
  $address = $_POST['adress'];
  $city = $_POST['city'];
  $state = $_POST['state'];
  $zip = $_POST['zip'];
  $country = $_POST['country'];
  $interested = $_POST['interested'];
  $experience = $_POST['experience'];
  $teaching = $_POST['teaching'];
  $lessonhubexp = $_POST['lessonhubexp'];
  $bio = $_POST['bio'];
  $personalinfo = $_POST['personalinfo'];
  $webconference = $_POST['webconference'];
  $contact = $_POST['contact'];
  $hoursmonth = $_POST['hoursmonth'];
  $felony = $_POST['felony'];
  $felonyexp = $_POST['felonyexp'];
  $inetconnection = $_POST['inetconnection'];
  $webcam = $_POST['webcam'];
  $computer = $_POST['computer'];
  $sound = $_POST['sound'];
  $terms = $_POST['terms'];
 
  $errors = array();
 
  //do serverside validation of required fields for those that have javascript turned off
  if ($fname = "") {
  $errors[] = "First Name";
  }
  elseif ($lname = "") {
  $errors[] = "Last Name";
  }
  elseif ($email = "") {
  $errors[] = "Email Address";
  }
  elseif ($phone = "") {
  $errors[] = "Phone Number";
  }
  elseif ($address = "") {
  $errors[] = "Address";
  }
  elseif ($city = "") {
  $errors[] = "City";
  }
  elseif ($state = "") {
  errors[] = "State";
  }
  elseif ($zip = "") {
  errors[] = "Zip/Postal Code";
  }
  elseif ($country = "") {
  errors[] = "Country";
  }
  elseif ($interested = "") {
  errors[] = "Your Teaching Interests";
  }
  elseif ($bio = "") {
  errors[] = "Biography";
  }
  elseif ($personalinfo = "") {
  errors[] = "Personal Information";
  }
 
  $size = sizeof($errors);
 
  if ($size == 0) {
  //connect to db and insert values
  mysql_select_db("lessonhub", $linkID);
  $insert = "INSERT INTO Instructor (FName, MI, LName, Address1, City, StateProvidence, PostCode, Phone1, Phone2, Country, Bio, Email, TeachInterest, YearExperience, WorkForLH, YearofTeach, InterestLH, WebInterview, ContactInt, TenHour, Felony, FelExplain, IntSpeed, webcam, goodComputer, soundCard, terms) VALUES ($fname, $minitial, $lname, $address, $city, $state, $zip, $phone, $altphone, $country, $bio, $email, $interested, $experience, $lessonhubexp, $teaching, $personalinfo, $webconference, $contact, $hoursmonth, $felony, $felonyexp, $inetconnection, $webcam, $computer, $sound, $terms)";
  if (mysql_query($insert, $linkID)) {
print "Your application has been sent sucessfully. We will contact you shortly to complete the process.";
}
else {
print "There was an error sending your application. Please go back and submit your information again.";
}
  }
  else {
  print "Please go back and fill out the following items:<br>";

foreach ($errors as $value) {
print "$value<br>";
}
  }
  ?>
[/code]

It gives me a blank screen with no errors. Anyone see where I am going wrong?

from the looks of it
you haven't even connected to you MySQL server yet

you need mysql_connect() somewhere.

One problem I found is you started to use $error[] = 'Your error message here';

then you went to error[] = 'Your error message here'; (note the lack of the dollar sign before error[])

You start to do the above from line 53 and onwards:
[code]elseif ($state = "") {
  errors[] = "State";
  }
  elseif ($zip = "") {
  errors[] = "Zip/Postal Code";
  }
  elseif ($country = "") {
  errors[] = "Country";
  }
  elseif ($interested = "") {
  errors[] = "Your Teaching Interests";
  }
  elseif ($bio = "") {
  errors[] = "Biography";
  }
  elseif ($personalinfo = "") {
  errors[] = "Personal Information";
  }[/code]

that's your problem!

nevermind wildteen got it
I see you referencing a $linkID in there
so I'm wrong

My mysql_connect() is in my external file i included at the top of my file, so that is not the problem. That is where $linkID comes from. But yes I left the $ in front of my array on those lines. Thanks.
