You have an error at line 46 as well...

 

 array_walk($_POST), 'clean');

should be:

 array_walk($_POST, 'clean');

 

As far as the error at line 38, here is what Zend Studio gives as an error description:

 

Compile Warning: Can't use function return value in write context (line 38)

 

This doesn't return an error:

 

$bln = trim($_POST['brideLname']);
        		$gln = trim($_POST['brideLname']);
        	
                if (empty($bln) && empty($gln)){  //<-- line 38
                        echo "<div align=\"center\"><font color=\"ff0000\">Please enter a last name for Bride <i>and</i> Groom.</font></div>\n";
                }else{

 

@Daniel0...you are missing 2 closing parenthesis in your recommendation.

thank you both for the quick replies! hitman, why would that be any different from what i have in my if statement? php can't be that janky... there's GOTTA be another reason... am i right?

 

i tried it and it worked... but why WON'T it work the way i had coded it orginally? there's really no difference that i can see.
