[thelist] Form validation function in PHP

[John Corry]

it's what you're passign the function as an argument...
"\$myvar"...that is a string, not a form input field variable.

Try doing it like this
echo filled($_POST["field_name"]);

or, loop through all the $_POST elements to validate the whole form.

foreach ($_POST as $field)
	{
	if (filled($field) == false)
		{
		// output an error message
		}
	}
