[php] PHP: check if any posted vars are empty - form: all fields required

Is there a simpler function to something like this:

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
    if ($_POST['login'] == "" || $_POST['password'] == "" || $_POST['confirm'] == "" || $_POST['name'] == "" || $_POST['phone'] == "" || $_POST['email'] == "") {
        echo "error: all fields are required";
    } else {
        echo "proceed...";
    }
}

I did it like this:

$missing = array();
 foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { if ($value == "") { array_push($missing, $key);}}
 if (count($missing) > 0) {
  echo "Required fields found empty: ";
  foreach ($missing as $k => $v) { echo $v." ";}
  } else {
  unset($missing);
  // do your stuff here with the $_POST
  }

I just wrote a quick function to do this. I needed it to handle many forms so I made it so it will accept a string separated by ','.

//function to make sure that all of the required fields of a post are sent. Returns True for error and False for NO error  
//accepts a string that is then parsed by "," into an array. The array is then checked for empty values.
function errorPOSTEmpty($stringOfFields) {
        $error = false;
            if(!empty($stringOfFields)) {
                // Required field names
                $required = explode(',',$stringOfFields);
                // Loop over field names
                foreach($required as $field) {
                  // Make sure each one exists and is not empty
                  if (empty($_POST[$field])) {
                    $error = true;
                    // No need to continue loop if 1 is found.
                    break;
                  }
                }
            }
    return $error;
}

So you can enter this function in your code, and handle errors on a per page basis.

$postError = errorPOSTEmpty('login,password,confirm,name,phone,email');

if ($postError === true) {
  ...error code...
} else {
  ...vars set goto POSTing code...
}

if( isset( $_POST['login'] ) &&  strlen( $_POST['login'] ))
{
  // valid $_POST['login'] is set and its value is greater than zero
}
else
{
  //error either $_POST['login'] is not set or $_POST['login'] is empty form field
}

I use my own custom function...

public function areNull() {
    if (func_num_args() == 0) return false;
    $arguments = func_get_args();
    foreach ($arguments as $argument):
        if (is_null($argument)) return true;
    endforeach;
    return false;
}
$var = areNull("username", "password", "etc");

I'm sure it can easily be changed for you scenario. Basically it returns true if any of the values are NULL, so you could change it to empty or whatever.

foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{

   if(empty(trim($value))
        echo "$key input required of value ";

}

empty and isset should do it.

if(!isset($_POST['submit'])) exit();

$vars = array('login', 'password','confirm', 'name', 'email', 'phone');
$verified = TRUE;
foreach($vars as $v) {
   if(!isset($_POST[$v]) || empty($_POST[$v])) {
      $verified = FALSE;
   }
}
if(!$verified) {
  //error here...
  exit();
}
//process here...

Note : Just be careful if 0 is an acceptable value for a required field. As @Harold1983- mentioned, these are treated as empty in PHP. For these kind of things we should use isset instead of empty.

$requestArr =  $_POST['data']// Requested data 
$requiredFields = ['emailType', 'emailSubtype'];
$missigFields = $this->checkRequiredFields($requiredFields, $requestArr);

if ($missigFields) {
    $errorMsg = 'Following parmeters are mandatory: ' . $missigFields;
    return $errorMsg;
}

// Function  to check whether the required params is exists in the array or not.
private function checkRequiredFields($requiredFields, $requestArr) {
    $missigFields = [];
    // Loop over the required fields and check whether the value is exist or not in the request params.
    foreach ($requiredFields as $field) {`enter code here`
        if (empty($requestArr[$field])) {
            array_push($missigFields, $field);
        }
    }
    $missigFields = implode(', ', $missigFields);
    return $missigFields;
}

Personally I extract the POST array and then have if(!$login || !$password) then echo fill out the form :)
