Question

On page load for chrome, ie, ff triggers form validation error message in PHP

Answer 1

+2 A:

Well, you're checking if $_POST['passwd'] is set, and if that's the case, you define an error.

No I am checking if $_post['passwd'] is null, but then I used is_empty(_post['passwd']) too, with the same auto trigger for form error

isset() doesn't check for null values - it checks whether the variable exists but doesn't care whether it actually contains anything. Use print_r($_POST); to see what exactly is inside your array.

@hollsk: That's not entirely true. `isset()` returns true if the variable is set *and* it is *not* null. If you set it to `null`, it will still be "unset" as far as `isset()` is concerned.

Yes, you're quite correct, of course - the whole empty != null thing can be a slippery beast for an imperfect human mind sometimes :-)

Answer 2

A:

What's your error message?

Anyway, you should change if(isset($_POST['passwd'])) { to if(empty($_POST['passwd'])) { and add a } to that.

The error messages are $login_p_error and $login_domain_errorDoes not work though....
