Any help is appreciated. Very hard to suggest anything from the snippet presented, as it can't be run without the supporting classes (ValidateStrings and whatever $fix is supposed to be), and it won't parse; the // comment on the end of line 9 borks it, and the if () on line 21 is missing its closing brace. If I assume one run-on if() statement and add the closing brace, I'd say that this looks weird: if( $fix->ValArray( $_POST['add_order_items'] === -1 ) ) { $errors['add_order_array'] = $erlink; } In your snippet ValArray() appears to be a function, rather than a method of $fix. I suggest adding error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top of the script and letting us know what the output is, then try to put together a minimal example that can actually be run (even if you have to fake a ValidateStrings class that always returns -1) and still shows your error. Plus some general suggestions, feel free to ignore... I think you're using || where you mean to use && in that run-on if() statement. You're saying IF (NOT Integer OR NOT Paragraph OR NOT Money) which will always evaluate to true. Unless your ValidateStrings class is holding some kind of state data internally, it may be a good candidate for a static class. ValidateStrings::ValidateParagraph() is a bit verbose, how about just Validate::Integer() Validate::Paragraph() etc. In PHP, it's more typical to use true/false for success failure, rather than returning -1 on failure, something like: if (!Validate::Integer($value) && !Validate::Paragraph($value)) { /* failure */ } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
