Re: isset problem

The way I see it you should get parse errors each time. Count your ('s and )'s . if ( isset($foo) ) or if ( (isset($foo)) ) Keeping the if ( ) spaced out is helpful. So in your case, you want : if ( isset($firstname) && isset($lastname) && isset($phone) ) { And I am unsure if your use of '<' is a typo but it does not belong, at all. Also, consider empty() and strlen() and ereg() and ... :-) Regards, Philip --.sig [ Want to write Good code? First, write Bad code. ] On Sun, 17 Dec 2000, Douglas A.
