    Are you certain you only wanted a single equal operator in the
last elseif() condition?  Further, are you sure it should even be an
elseif() and not a straight else?

That's where the problem lies... the algorhythm is if any one of a
series is empty, then it's an error, but if they are all ls then we go on...
So the last one should show up as "0"...
I tried else $obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 0; but that doesn't want to
work. I tried echo $obligatoryFieldNotPresent;
just get a blank page...
I can't figure out how to determine if anything is in the String...
perhaps I should be checking for null
elseif ($obligatoryFiledNotPresent == "") {
    $obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 0;
    }
I tried that too, but same result...

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...



$obligatoryFieldNotPresent=null;

foreach($_POST, as $value)
{
    if(!empty($value)continue;
    $obligatoryFieldNotPresent=true;
}

Sorry, I was in too big a hurry...

$obligatoryFieldNotPresent=null;
foreach($_POST as $value)
{
   if(!empty($value))continue;
   $obligatoryFieldNotPresent=true;
}


And if you want to know which field(s) failed:

$obligatoryFieldNotPresent=array();
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{
   if(!empty($value))continue;
   $obligatoryFieldNotPresent[]=$key;
}
