validation problems

[chrisuk]

I am having trouble with checking multiple boxes to make sure they have been filled in:

 

i have tried both:

 

<?php
if (!isset($forename) || ($surname) || ($email)){
header("Location: adduser.php");
}
?>

 

and

 

<?php
if (empty($forename) || ($surname) || ($email)){
header("Location: adduser.php");
}
?>

 

to no avail.

 

I even tried seperate if statements...

 

basically if any one of the fields is filled in then it accepts the form, which is obviously not what I want!

 

What am i doing wrong?

 

thanks

<?php

if (!isset($forename) || !isset($surname) || !isset($email)){

header("Location: adduser.php");

}

?>

this is odd - i realise my mistake but even with the above code, it will accept entry with blank fields

 

rather confused :S

 

i tried:

 

<?php

if (empty($forename) || empty($surname) || empty($email)){
   header("Location: adduser.php");
     }

?>

 

this works if nothing is filled in but if only one is filled in, it will accept!  ???

never mind, went about it a slightly different way....

 

i put all the code in the folowing if statement:

 

if (!empty($forename) && !empty($surname) && !empty($email))
{
//perform add user actions
}
else
{
header ("Location: adduser.php");
}

you could hve used this as well

if(!strlen($variable))

{

//do watever

}
