Hi,

I have an issue with a particular if statement when I check 3 form fields
for their value. The problem is no matter what input is entered in the
fields the output is the same. I only added the 3 fields in question of the
form to reduce heartache for the readers of this post.

Output always reads:
Please correct the following "State" fields. Example: Enter state as
Illinois or IL not ILLINOIS.
Consumer State

School State

Store State

The code is:
<?php
$label_array = array ("conName" => "Consumer Name",
"conAddress" => "Consumer Address",
"conCity" => "Consumer City",
"conState" => "Consumer State",
"conZip" => "Consumer Zip Code",
"conPhone" => "Consumer Phone",
"schName" => "School Name",
"schAddress" => "School Address",
"schCity" => "School City",
"schState" => "School State",
"schZip" => "School Zip Code",
"strName" => "Store Name",
"strCity" => "Store City",
"strState" => "Store State");

//check data fields for correct data
foreach($_POST as $field => $value)
{
if($field == "conState" || $field == "schState" || $field == "strState")
//if these 3 fields are entered
{
if($value != 'Alabama' || $value!= 'AL' || $value != 'Alaska' || $value!=
'AK' || $value != 'Arizona' || $value!= 'AZ' || $value != 'Arkansas' ||

I'm going to vomit after seeing your if statement's condition. Anyways,
you want && between all those and NOT ||.

Cheers,

you should replace all those || -s above with && -s since you want to be
sure it does not match any of the states

You're doing all OR statements. This means "if it's not this or it's
not this or it's not this or it's not this...."

Replace the OR ( || ) with AND ( && ) throughout the if() clause and it
should work just fine.

You should really look into learning in_array() for stuff like this.

Your logic seems weird to me, using != with a bunch of ||'s, is it
possible you need to && those together?

I can't think of a good reason to suppress an error coming from
sizeof(). It will return zero for anything that is unset. You might
switch to count(), it's one character less to type than sizeof() and
much more common in other programming languages.

Looks like you just need to do some logic debugging to get things
wired up how you want.

Try adding this to the top of your script so the post action shows you
more info:

if( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) )
{
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $_POST );
echo '</pre>';
}
