Form Validation PHP, any shortcuts for this?

[JordashTalon]

Ok to validate one of my forms I do the following

if($var && $othervar && $anothervar){
echo "form completed";
}
else{
echo "form not completed";
}

I want to know which variable did not have the value so I can tell that to the person, how can I do that without doing an if statement for each variable

e.g.

if(!$var){
echo "you missed the ".$var." field";
}

Is there a faster way than that?

Try using an array to store possibly errors and echo it near the form.

Yes, use or design a form object.

Here's a post I made showing a simple form/validation class:
