Hi everyone,

I have a product submit form for my company (coded in html). What I would like to do, is that if someone does not fill out all the required fields to submit the product, a php script would tell them something like:

Sorry, you have not filled in $fieldhere. Please go back and fill it in.

The submit form I have can be found here: www.atgig.com/bulio

This is what I have, but I get a parse error:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
if ( (!empty($location)) && (!empty($Description)) && (!empty($Make)) && (!empty($Model)) && (!empty($Year)) && (!empty($Color)) && (!empty($price)) (!empty($InventoryType)) && (!empty($Serial)) && (!empty($name)) )
{
    echo "The product has been submitted ok.";
}
else
{
    echo "You have left a text box blank, please go back and fill it in.";
}
?>

I get the following error when I try it:

You forgot an && between "(!empty($price))" and "(!empty($InventoryType))"

 <?php
 if ( (!empty($location)) && (!empty($Description)) && (!empty($Make)) && (!empty($Model)) && (!empty($Year)) && (!empty($Color)) && (!empty($price)) && (!empty($InventoryType)) && (!empty($Serial)) && (!empty($name)) )
 {
     echo "The product has been submitted ok.";
 }
 else
 {
     echo "You have left a text box blank, please go back and fill it in.";
 }
 ?>

OK everyone, I got it working! but everytime I try to submit, it says i'm missing a required field.

Code in submit.php:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?php
if ( (!empty($location)) && (!empty($Description)) && (!empty($Make)) && (!empty($Model)) && (!empty($Year)) && (!empty($Color)) && (!empty($price))&& (!empty($InventoryType)) && (!empty($Serial)) && (!empty($name)) )
{
   echo "The product has been submitted ok.";
}
else
{
   echo "You have left a text box blank, please go back and fill it in.";
}
?>

Also, Here's everything in the form:

What do you mean? Does it say "You have left a text box blank, please go back and fill it in."?

No, It gives me a parse error on line 2. I think it is due to my pc. I will be trying it on another one soon.
