Re: How do I convert from perl to php?

Try something like this: while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { if ((strlen($value) < 1) && ($name == "name" || $name == "address" || $name == "phone")) { $error .= "You left $name empty <br>"; } } if ($error) { echo $error; } That's one way to do it. Joshua Hoover
