This is wrong: if (!empty($qty)) { echo "Please enter the quantity for your quotation enquiry.";} You're checking to see whether or not qty IS empty, this statement checks for when when it is NOT empty if (empty($string)) { // This is an empty string. } if (!empty($string)) { // This is NOT an empty string. } James
