Hi,

 

I'm new to php and I have a pretty basic question :

 

I have a set of variables like this :

$event10 = $_POST['event10']; $event11 = $_POST['event11']; $event12 = $_POST['event12']; $event13 = $_POST['event13']; $event14 = $_POST['event14'];
$event15 = $_POST['event15']; $event16 = $_POST['event16']; $event17 = $_POST['event17']; $event18 = $_POST['event18']; $event19 = $_POST['event19'];
$event20 = $_POST['event20']; $event21 = $_POST['event21']; $event22 = $_POST['event22']; $event23 = $_POST['event23']; $event24 = $_POST['event24'];
$event25 = $_POST['event25']; $event26 = $_POST['event26']; $event27 = $_POST['event27']; $event28 = $_POST['event28']; $event29 = $_POST['event29'];
$event30 = $_POST['event30']; $event31 = $_POST['event31']; $event32 = $_POST['event32']; $event33 = $_POST['event33']; $event34 = $_POST['event34'];
$event35 = $_POST['event35']; $event36 = $_POST['event36']; $event37 = $_POST['event37']; $event38 = $_POST['event38']; $event39 = $_POST['event39'];
$event40 = $_POST['event40']; $event41 = $_POST['event41']; $event42 = $_POST['event42']; $event43 = $_POST['event43']; $event44 = $_POST['event44'];
$event45 = $_POST['event45']; $event46 = $_POST['event46']; $event47 = $_POST['event47']; $event48 = $_POST['event48']; $event49 = $_POST['event49'];
$event50 = $_POST['event50']; $event51 = $_POST['event51']; $event52 = $_POST['event52']; $event53 = $_POST['event53']; $event54 = $_POST['event54'];

Some of these variables contains some infos as some others are left empty. Basically I just want to know how much variables contains a value(are not empty)..

 

If anyone can show me what to do or point me to a simple tutorial it would be really appreciated!

 

Thank you!
