In your code above, if $name is not set, $err1 will be set to equal $error_style. There is obviously more coming into play than just this code snippet. Double-check your variable names. Place strategically located 'echo' statements to see what is happening, for instance, right after the above 'if' statement, place an 'echo $name;'. JM
