Question

I’m using this piece of code to display an error when the field is left empty but it just returns me to the location.

$err = array();
if(empty($native) )
{
$err[] = "ERROR - Enter Native Language";
//header("Location: language.php?msg=$err");
//exit();

 if(!empty($err))  {
   echo "<div class=\"msg\">";
  foreach ($err as $e) {
    echo "* $e <br>";
    }
  echo "</div>";    
   }

Any ideas?

What is up with the square bracket? if(empty($native ]))

You also need to reference the $err array element with an index.

This should work

$err = array();
if(empty($native))
{
  $err[] = "ERROR - Enter Native Language";
  header("Location: language.php?msg=$err[0]");
  ...

Also, its a good idea to url encode your strings as @Lawrence suggested 🙂
