If statements and $_POST[] function

[Fire Juggler]

I have a form in one file, then in another file i have
if ((($name=="")|| (($userEmail==" ")&&($address== "")))&&($enquir y==""))
{$error3="<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FF0000 \"><strong>Name , at least one
set of contact details, and enquiries are required:</strong></font><br>";
include("enquir ies.php");}
else
{
if (($name=="")||( ($userEmail=="" )&&($address==" ")))
{$error3="<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FF0000 \"><strong>Name , at least one
set of contact details, and enquiries are required:</strong></font><br>";
include("enquir ies.php");}
else
{
if ((($name!="")&& (($userEmail!=" ")||($address!= "")))&&($enquir y==""))
{$error3="<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FF0000 \"><strong>N o enquiries were
entered. Please enter an enquiry before continuing.</strong></font><br>";
include("enquir ies.php");
}

how would i do this using the $_POST function?

Hi,

$_POST is NOT a function!
$_POST is a (super)global array.
This means that you can access its content anytime from anywhere.

$_POST will contain a hashed array, that is name/value pairs.

So if somebody has a file1.html with a form, the receiving script (the one
named in the action="Ireciev e.php" in the formtag) will receive the
information entered in the form that was posted.

So what is your question excactly?
