Hi, Ive got a script where it loops through all the $_POST values - using an if($field == "fieldname") {valuidate for that field;} I know that the field names are correct because they are beign echoed out correctly. However when i try and patch then to a string, it wont work. Its probably best described by the code and output.: CODE: ..... foreach($_POST as $field => $value) { #echo "Stage 1.1 <br>"; echo $field."<br>"; #if($_POST['Save'] == '---') {$ERROR['Save'] = 'empty';} if($field == "Save" && $value == "---") { $ERROR[$field] = "empty"; } if($field == "User_Name" || $field == "Password" || $field == "Conf_Password") { if($_POST['Save'] == "1") { ### Validate the Username, password and email if(empty($value)) { $ERROR = $ERROR[$field] = 'empty'; } else if(!preg_match("[A-za'-z]", $value)) { $ERROR[$field] = 'invalid'; } else if(strlen($value) > 20 || strlen($value) < 5) $ERROR[$field] = 'len'; } else if($field == "Password" && $value != $_POST['Conf_Password']) { $ERROR[$field] = 'passmtch'; } } } if($field == "F_Name" || $field == "L_Name" || $field == "User_Name" || $field == "Emg_Name" || $field == "Emg_Relation") { ### Validate the names echo "is names<br>"; if(!preg_match("[A-za-z' -]", $value)) { $ERROR[$field] = 'invalid'; } else if(strlen($value) > 20) { $ERROR[$field] = 'len'; } } if($field == "Email") { if (!preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i', $input_email)) { $ERROR[$field] = 'invalid'; } } if($field == "Carrier" && $value = "---") { $ERROR[$field] = 'empty'; } ..... Output: F_Name L_Name Email User_Name Password Conf_Password Cell_no Carrier DOB Address Emg_Name Emg_Phone Emg_Relation Save Stage 2 Stage 3 Array ( [F_Name] => Michael [L_Name] => => [user_Name] => [Password] => [Conf_Password] => [Cell_no] => [Carrier] => --- [DOB] => [Address] => [Emg_Name] => [Emg_Phone] => [Emg_Relation] => [save] => --- ) As you can see - the values arent matchign for the $field - and the "F_Name" etc. I think its somethign to do with the datatype of the field value - however I cant tell. Any suggestions on how this can be solved woudl be great. Thansk in advance,.

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!!! Thats fixed it - thank you sooooo much!!!
