PHP Question

I have a PHP question, but it is not support, or block request material, so i hope is is ok to post this here?

I am developing an online employment application for my company and i want to require the user to post at least one employment reference. so i have for example $_POST['emp1'] , $_POST['emp1add'] , $_POST['emp1phone'] ect ect ect. Instead of checking each field individually can I do something like this?

if (empty($_POST['emp1*']))
{
execute code
}

If not any suggestions?

No, you can't do that. You can do something like:

Code Select Expand


$form = $_POST;
$test = 0;
foreach ($form as $key => $value)
{
  if (substr($key,0,4) == 'emp1') && empty($value)
    $test=1;
}
if ($test == 1)
{
  execute code
}


I think.
