cyberRobot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If all the form fields are required, you could loop through the POST array. <?php foreach($_POST as $fieldName=>$fieldValue) { if($fieldValue == '') { print "<div>$fieldName is blank</div>"; } } ?> Side note: you'll also want to look into protecting your queries from SQL injections. One way is to use mysqli_real_escape_string(): http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
