PHP and or should I use or

[GroundZeroStudio]

 

case "new":

foreach($_POST as $field => $value)

{

if ($field != "fax")

{

if ($value == "")

{

unset($_GET['do']);

$message_new = "A Required field entry is missing. Please try again.";

      include("login_form.html");

exit();

}

}

 

See the line in bold. I want it so if the field is not equal to fax, phone, or zip. how would I write it. Could you please post the entire code snippet for me.

Thanks

case "new":
	foreach($_POST as $field => $value)
	{
	if ($field != "fax" || $field != "phone" || $field != "zip")
		{
		if ($value == "")
		{
			unset($_GET['do']); 
			$message_new = "A Required field entry is missing. Please try again.";
      include("login_form.html");
			exit();
		}
	}

Doesnt Work

[magic2goodil]

maybe:

case "new":
	foreach($_POST as $field => $value)
	{
	if ($field != "fax" && $field != "phone" && $field != "zip")
		{
		if ($value == "")
		{
			unset($_GET['do']); 
			$message_new = "A Required field entry is missing. Please try again.";
      include("login_form.html");
			exit();
		}
	}

To say 'not equal to' as a comparator, there's 2 equals signs, just like a regular comparator. So field !== 'fax', change it on the rest. That should work. If not, let us know.

[magic2goodil]

Last time I checked, !== is the opposite of === which checks for same type and same value.

 

You don't want to use !== here.

 

Your problem may be the inner if statement..

 

what exactly is the error you are having now?

 

[superuser2]

Oh yeah, I just checked the manual, you're right. I must've been thinking of something else.

[GroundZeroStudio]

None of that works. I keep getting  required field entry is missing even with all the code. I just want it so you dont have to fill in all the fields

[magic2goodil]

Show us more code, and give as the error and the line number for the error.

Can you put var_dump($_POST) or print_r($_POST) at the top of your script, and verify that only the fields you expect to be blank are actually blank?  I suspect it's just that your input is not what you expect.
