Can someone help me. My php form is giving me the same error even when the form is completely filled out and even when a field is not filled out. When the name field or any field is not filled out, it doesn’t show my error message that says: The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.
Here is the error below I am getting on all the fields if left unfilled and even when the whole form is filled out:
We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. These errors appear below.
We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.
Please go back and fix these errors.
Here is the php code. What am I doing wrong in the code?
"; echo $error."
"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.
