finally found the problem... wrong names for string and this is what now
verifies correctly....
if (strlen($_POST["titleIN"]) == 0 ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (strlen($_POST["first_nameIN"]) == 0 ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (strlen($_POST["publisherIN"]) == 0 ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (strlen($_POST["copyrightIN"]) == "" ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (strlen($_POST["ISBNIN"]) == 0 ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (strlen($_POST["languageIN"]) == 0 ) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 1;
}
elseif (!empty($_POST['categoriesIN'])) {
$obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 0;
But now I have to figure out the workflow and see why it is not going
the right way... wonder where I got some of this stuff...
