There are many different states, in which an array would be empty. Can you post the output of a "var_dump($array);" in that special case you want to check? In general: 1. the variable may not have been set: if (!isset($myarray)) echo 'error'; 2. the variable is set, but ain't an array: if (!isarray($myarray) echo 'error'; 3. the variable is set and is an array, but contains no data: if (array_count($myarray) == 0) echo 'error'; I think the 3rd case could apply to your problem, but only a print_r or var_dump of the $_POST['myarray'] can show this.
