I need to have the following form force information to be added. NO BLANK FORMS. I want all forms to containg data and if they do not I want a pop up to open with the fields that do need to have the data filled. All the tutorials I have seen do not really help me.
Below is some of the code:

I originally tried to use javascript to force the entry, but it would never work properly. I am fairly new to PHP so the 'if' statement with "" never worked properly for me either.
I will be honest, I am not looking for someone to 'do the work' for me, but I am looking for someone to maybe either point me to a tutorial that will explain it simply or edit my code once to show me what I need to be doing. I am reading all the time on the web trying to get this resolved.
the basics for a fairly simple to maintain form processor:
create an [php_man]array[/php_man] of required filled field names.
use a [php_man]for[/php_man], [php_man]while[/php_man], or [php_man]foreach[/php_man] to loop through the field names, checking if the posted field is [php_man]empty[/php_man] (after [php_man]trim[/php_man]ming leading and trailing whitespace).
if all the required fields pass, you do your mail. If not, you redisplay the form with an error.. or some other concept like that.
