Sorry I just woke up and there are all of the disparate responses?! 
I'm not understanding what everyone is saying?!
Should I post more of my code?
I debugged this in Netbeans last night and the variable held FALSE yet it took the wrong branch in my IF-THEN-ELSE.
Here is more of my code...
My code:
Code:
<?php
//This page processes...
// Address error-handling.
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// Start output buffering.
ob_start();
// Initialize a session.
session_start();
// Define variables.
$email = $_POST['email'];
$new_cust = $_POST['new_cust'];
$password1 = $_POST['password1'];
$submitted = $_POST['submitted'];
echo 'email = ' . $email . "<br />";
echo 'new_cust = ' . $new_cust . "<br />";
echo 'password1 = ' . $password1 . "<br />";
echo 'submitted = ' . $submitted . "<br />";
// Initialize $errors array
$errors= array();
if (isset($submitted)) {
// Handle the form.
if ($new_cust == TRUE) {
// For New Customers
if(empty($email)) {
$errors['email']='Please enter a valid E-mail address.';
};
} else {
// For Existing Customers
if(empty($email)) {
$errors['email']='Please enter a valid E-mail address.';
};
if(empty($password1)) {
$errors['password1']='Please enter your Password valid E-mail address.';
};
}
}
/*
if(empty($errors)) {
//validation success
//send email, save to db ...
header('Location: thankyou.html');
}
*/
ob_end_flush();
?>

Testing:
If I run the form, select "I am a returning customer" (i.e. New Customer = FALSE), and leave Email and Password blank, I expect to see...
Please enter a valid E-mail address.
Please enter your Password.
However my code is taking the wrong path even though new_cust = FALSE in NetBeans.
It is taking this path...
if (isset($submitted)) {
// Handle the form.
if ($new_cust == TRUE) {
// For New Customers
if(empty($email)) {
$errors['email']='Please enter a valid E-mail address.';
};
