Hi,
I have an issue with a particular if statement when I check 3 form fields
for their value. The problem is no matter what input is entered in the
fields the output is the same. I only added the 3 fields in question of
the
form to reduce heartache for the readers of this post.
Output always reads:
Please correct the following "State" fields. Example: Enter state as
Illinois or IL not ILLINOIS.
Consumer State
School State
Store State
The code is:
<?php
$label_array = array ("conName" => "Consumer Name",
"conAddress" => "Consumer Address",
"conCity" => "Consumer City",
"conState" => "Consumer State",
"conZip" => "Consumer Zip Code",
"conPhone" => "Consumer Phone",
"schName" => "School Name",
"schAddress" => "School Address",
"schCity" => "School City",
"schState" => "School State",
"schZip" => "School Zip Code",
"strName" => "Store Name",
"strCity" => "Store City",
"strState" => "Store State");
//check data fields for correct data
foreach($_POST as $field => $value)
{
if($field == "conState" || $field == "schState" || $field ==
"strState")
//if these 3 fields are entered
{

You're doing all OR statements. This means "if it's not this or it's
not this or it's not this or it's not this...."
Replace the OR ( || ) with AND ( && ) throughout the if() clause and it
should work just fine.
