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.

This is My current code: (index.htm)

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.";
 }
 ?>

This is the error that I get If I submit it with some fields blank:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Notice: Undefined index: location in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\submit.php on line 2
The product has been submitted ok.
