					$ErrMsg = "";

							}
							else
							{
							print mysql_errno();
							}
				}
				else

				}
			}
		

why else print $ErrMsg doesn't work ? Please help! But when I print msg after $ErrMsg = $ErrMsg."Please enter your name.<BR>"; it works....

Man, look for if syntax:

if ([condition]) { ... }

Is this a condition or is an assignment?

$ErrMsg = ""

Now really, think before posting ...

The reason is simple: instead of testing if $ErrMsg is equal to a blank string, you set it to a blank string.

$ErrMsg = "";

if (!empty($Submit))
{
	if (empty($ConName))
		$ErrMsg .= "Please enter your name.<BR>";
	if (empty($ConLastName))
		$ErrMsg .= "Please enter your last name.<BR>";
	if (empty($ConEMail))
		$ErrMsg .= "Please enter your e-mail.<BR>";
	if (empty($ConRemark))
		$ErrMsg .= "Please enter your comment.<BR>";

//test if $ErrMsg is blank
if ($ErrMsg == "")
{
	$sql = "INSERT INTO remark
		VALUES ('', '$ConName', '$ConLastName', '$ConEmail', '$ConTel', '$ConRemark')";
	if (mysql_query($sql))
	{
		echo "Thank you";
		exit; //is this necessary here?
	}
	else
	{
		echo mysql_errno();
	}
}
else
{
	echo $ErrMsg;
}
}
