Thanks all for the array tip. I did not realize it was in an array. Guess
I am php spoiled. :)
Since I am dong a simple form there is no need to post that, but here is
the code that I am checking....
if(($email == '') || (length($email) < 5)){
$my_length = length($email);
print "$email - $my_length\n";
}
Thanks again.
Chris
