[SOLVED] If help

[phpcode]

if (empty($password)==TRUE){
echo "You must enter a password! <a href\"install.php\">Click here to go back</a>";
} 
elseif (empty($myemail)==TRUE){
echo "You must enter your email address! <a href\"install.php\">Click here to go back</a>";
}

elseif ($smtpcustom == "yes"){

if (empty($smtpserver)==TRUE || empty($smtpport)==TRUE){
echo "You selected yes for a custom SMTP server but you forgot to enter a server/port! ";
}


} else {
echo "Installed";
}

 

The problem I'm having is at:-

 

elseif ($smtpcustom == "yes"){

 

If smtpserver/smtpport are empty it works but if they aren't empty the code doesn't work, can anyone see anything wrong with it?

try

 

 

} else if (!empty($smtpserver)==TRUE ||!empty($smtpport)==TRUE){ echo "installed";}

[phpcode]

I didn't include the code that allows the user to select yes or no.

[darkfreaks]

try if not empty the above code

Just a suggestion, but echoing only one of potentially multiple errors and forcing your users to click to go back is an interface nightmare.  It's cumbersome and likely to frustrate people.

 

Why not set your form up so that if there are errors it automatically re-displays the form, resets all of the fields to what the user initially chose, and displays all of the error messages on the top?

yeah thats how i do my forms i make it so if something is not entered it doesnt submit
