Form errors in an array


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I'm processing a form and putting the errors in an array. empty($errors) doesn't seem to do the trick when trying to check to see if the array is empty. Is my understanding of empty()incorrect? Each item is the array is either a string, the error message, or FALSE.

Can anyone help me figure out how to move into my if statement?
