Question

I have added a checker to ensure that all fields in a form have data within when the form is submitted.

if(     (   isset($_POST['name'] == "Contact")  )
    && (    isset($_POST['company'] == "Company Name")  )
    && (    isset($_POST['address'] == "Address")   )
    && (    isset($_POST['turnover'] == "Approx. Turnover") )
    && (    isset($_POST['employees'] == "No. Of Employees")    ) 
    && (    isset($_POST['contact'] == "Contact Number")    )  
  )
    {
    //nothing has changed and we fail the form
    $_SESSION['failed'] == true;
}
else{

I am getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL, expecting ‘,’ or ‘)’

Can anyone see what the problem is?
Also, will this check that all post values have data within?

Thanks.

Answer 1

if(isset($_POST['name']) == "Contact") 

should be

if(isset($_POST['name']) && $_POST['name'] == "Contact") 

(or you can use || if you want OR)

Also, it does not check if it has a value. It only checks if a variable is set.
Use either == '' or empty() to check if it’s got a value.

And

$_SESSION['failed'] == true;

should be

$_SESSION['failed'] = true;

== is for comparison and = is for assignment
