    echo $i;
    echo $_POST['Race'] [$i] . "<br>" ;
    if ($_POST['Race'] [$i] == "Black")

    }else if ($_POST['Race'] [$i] == "Hispanic")
    
    {
        echo "you are HIspanic";

    {
        echo "you are Asian";
    } 
    
    else if ($_POST['Race'] == NULL){
        echo "you are an alien";
 }
    
} 


any tips?

Is it "null" or "empty"? There is a difference.

I'm guessing it's empty.

And maybe you could use a drop-down form menu and not need to loop an array?

<select name="race">
<option value="White">White</option>
<option value="Black">Black</option>
<option value="Hispanic">Hispanic</option>
<option value="Asian">Asian</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>

<?php
echo"
You are $_POST['race'].
";
>

hm.. and do i just call upon the empty value by "" or EMPTY?. im doing this for the sake of learning. i know i could have used better types of the form to do this

This site has some tables and discussions about how PHP compares things:
http://au2.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php

Probably answers it better than I can.

Hi, teknicalissue! Did you find the answer you need on that site?

elseif (empty($_POST['Race']))

OR

elseif (!isset($_POST['Race']))

Both works
