Re: if elseif elseif elseif....

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;

I'd suggest something slightly different.

$errors = array();

if (empty($_POST['title'])) {
  $errors[] = 'title';
}

if (empty($_POST['first_nameIN'])) {
  $errors[] = 'first_nameIN';
}

...

# If we found any errors, show a message!
if (!empty($errors)) {
  echo "You forgot to fill in these fields:<br/>";
  echo implode(',', $errors) . "<br/>";
}

So your user knows what they missed.
