I already know the error resides in my functions and or the logic I have to execute them. But I'm really unsure where exactly to go from here. Everything worked very well before I implemented the functions. Granted, I am a novice to this. When the submit button is pressed no data is sent to the displayResult() page and my error messages don't pop up whenever the form is submitted completely blank. Here's my current page: http://awsymposium.com/mock.php and the end product should look and operate similar to this: http://professorgustin.com/dpr206/guestbook/guestbookonescript.php
I have updated a little bit your code. I also strongly recomand that you also use a javascript validation for your fields.
Here is the code:

i have this code
first file is a form that gets data and perform some basic email validation
second file gets all data and performs php validation and returns error messages that are stored in an array if the user inputs something wrong.
my question is that how can i display the contents of the form if there is no errors and the error array is empty.
<?php
$error = $_GET['message'];

{
alert("Please enter correct email")
document.getElementById('email').focus() ;
return false;

Your PHP to display the form content -

$country = $_REQUEST['country'];

array_push($message, "zip is not a number!");
}
if (strlen($zip) != 5){
array_push($message, "Wrong Zip!");

array_push($message, $name);
array_push($message, $email);

What Alon is trying to say is that all of your variables are caught in the local scope, to avoid this, you need tell the offending variables that they belong in the global scope. Technically, you don't need to initialize them first, but it's good practice.
Note, you need to ensure that your variables are in the global scope in each function you're using them in.

You need to define variables that was declared outside the function as global. Put this line at start of your function, after function result(){
global $user,$email,$note;
note that variables declared inside the function scope will be deleted after the function execution. you need to declare $user,$email,$note ouside check() (and just declare them as global inside check())
I know there are numerous questions about this however I just can not seem to pick the error with my coding. I know it is something simple but I can not see it.
I have to create a form which when it is submitted the data will be inputted into MySQL database however the data needs to be validated first. I have 2 issues with this, the first being my email validation is not working using: (filter_var($email, filter_validate_email))
The problem is that when I submit the form it returns true regardless of if the email is valid or not.
If I put (!filter_var($email, filter_validate_email)) it returns false regardless of the input.
The second problem is that when loading the page it initially adds a blank entry into the SQL database and it adds entries that aren’t valid. i.e. if I don’t enter a name when the form is submitted the validation runs and I get the error message “name is required” but it still creates an entry in the table with a blank name.
I am using PHP version 5.3.27
This is for my tafe course i am doing however they are on holidays at the moment so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Coding from file 1:

check this code for email validation etc :
<body> <?php
// define variables and set to empty values
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
if (empty($_POST["Name"])) {$nameErr = "Name is required"; }else {$Name = htmlspecialchars($_POST["Name"]);}
if (empty($_POST["Address"])) {$Address = "";}else{$Address = htmlspecialchars($_POST["Address"]);}
if (empty($_POST["Phone"])) {$Phone = "";}else {$Phone = htmlspecialchars($_POST["Phone"]);}
if (empty($_POST["Mobile"])) {$Mobile = "";}else {$Mobile = htmlspecialchars($_POST["Mobile"]);}
if(filter_var($_POST['Email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ echo"Valid Email"; }else{ echo "Not a Valid Email"; }
}
?>
<form name="addcontact" method="post" action= "<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?>">
<table border="1" cellpadding="2"> <caption> Add New Caption </caption> <tr> <td><label for="Name">Name</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="Name" size="30" maxlenght="50" tabindex="1"/> <span class="error">*<?php echo $nameErr;?></span> </td> </tr>
<tr> <td><label for="Address">Address</label></td> <td><textarea name="Address" cols="45" rows="5" tabindex="2"></textarea></td> </tr>
<tr> <td><label for="Phone">Phone</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="Phone" size="20" maxlenght="20" tabindex="3" /> </td> </tr>
<tr> <td><label for="Mobile">Mobile</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="Mobile" size="20" maxlenght="20" tabindex="4" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="Email">Email</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="Email" size="30" maxlenght="50" tabindex="5" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan"2" align="center"><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" tabindex="6"/> </td> </tr> </table> </form>
</body> </html>`
The validation should happen in the file:
'add-contact.php'
Since this is what the from action is calling on submit.
The initial validators are meaningless since the $_POST array is not initialized.
The reason for the empty SQL insert statement is because you decide to do:
include("add-contact.php");
In the first file and it is running without valid $_POST initialization on each load of the page.
Remove the line include("add-contact.php");
This will stop the blank insertion in the database.
Also remove the action
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>
Just try action="add-contact.php".
Email validation is working fine for me.
