Divide and conquer
Have you tried it one function at a time -- e.g.
if (email_is_valid($Email)
{
do stuff ...
also,
what values do these tests return?
have you echoed the values?

Re: [PHP] validating form data...
&& and "and" are same except that they stay at different levels in the
precedence table. But if the programmer is skilled he will never write code
which depends on the precedence table but put brackets here and there,
everywhere they are needed.

Re: [PHP] validating form data...
Nope, wasn't that...
And it should not do any difference using 'and', 'AND' or '&&' as they do
the same thing...

hellorghh !!!
I think that :
if ((email_is_valid($Email)) && ($Name != "") && ($Message != "")){
do stuff ...
}
...should be better . (&&, not "and")

Re: [PHP] validating form data via javaScript when stored in an array
I don't think you can name variables as varname[name] and access them like
that in javascript unless
varname[name] is initialize where varname is an array and name=index in that
array and it must be defined first.
I believe you will have to change the naming convention from var[keyname] to
var_keyname or something, and same for reading it from PHP.
or else name them as:
input_1
input_2
input_...
input_N
then you can access them in JavaScript as:
for (i=0;i
hope it helps.
