Wow. Ok first why are you emailing yourself before you validate the information? Second, try naming your text fields without Array[], just name them whatever you have inbetween the brackets. What you are doing isn't creating an array you are just creating separate variables with array in their name and then trying to call them from your php with what is technically a different name since you introduce quotation marks in the php code.

so i should delete the arrays and the quotation marks and it shall work?

jerdo is right, you can create an array called Array but it is just confusing... you shouldn't do it...

1) make sure register_globals is set to on in your php.ini file... if it is you can reference $Array directly... if not you will have to go into $_POST['Array'] to find it....

2) you should use [man]empty/man to see if the field has been filled in instead of just checking if ( ($var) and ($var) )

also, check your code for typos: there are a few simple simple typing errors: be careful, php is case sensitive also

1) [Email] and [E-mail]
2) [FirstName] and [Firstname]

this should start you off fixing this
