I have an html form that is validated by php, how do i set the php to check the html form fields and make sure they are not blank, meaning that people can hit the space bar and my php thinks that there is something in the field?
[code=php]<?
session_start();
$errors = array();
if( empty( $_POST[‘name’] ) )
{ // fail error checking
$errors[] = ‘Name is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[’email’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Email is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[’email2′] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Confirm Email is Required’;
}
if( !empty( $_POST[’email’] ) && !empty( $_POST[’email2′] ) && $_POST[’email’] != $_POST[’email2′] )
{
$errors[] = ‘Your email addresses do not match’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘Company’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Company is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘address’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Address is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘city’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘City is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘region’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘State is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘zip’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Zip is Required’;
}
if( empty( $_POST[‘country’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Country is Required’;
}
// repeat for all validation
if( empty( $_POST[‘Security_Code’] ) )
{
$errors[] = ‘Plese fill in the security code’;
}
elseif( $_POST[‘Security_Code’] != $_SESSION[‘pass’] )
{
$errors[] = ‘The security code you entered is invalid’;
}
if( !empty( $errors ) )
