Re: Check the contents of a file field

Thanks for your replies Jennifer, but using this code, i still get a message saying 'Please complete all fields' if($_POST[document] == ''){ $error = "Please complete all fields"; header ("Location: add_document.php?error=$error&project_id=".$_GET[project_id]."&project_name= ".$_GET[project_name].""); exit; } Any suggestions?
