Can you clarify what your question is, because it doesn't make any sense at all to me. What does "Summarize" mean? What "array" are you speaking of? Why the pointless poll?

here lol sorry for that no sense question
i have simply got hundreds of varibles that I need to access from the $_POST array. Is there an efficient way of doing the below:

You get the idea. I don't fancy writing hundreds more statements in this way, there must be a better way.

Thanks for any help

Sure there's a better way - just use the $_POST array instead of duplicating the data in another variable.

i dont know but i tried this and it seem working:
$postvar = array ('1'=>$POST['fullname'],
'2'=>$POST['firstname'],
'3'=>'lastname',
'4'=>'password',
'5'=>'passconfirm',
'6'=>'email',
'7'=>'emailconfirm',
'8'=>'sex',
'9'=>'country');
}

if(isset($postvar['1']) && empty($postvar['1']) ){
echo "<p class='error'>Your name is missing plz fill it again!</p>";

}

how is this

if(isset($postvar['1']) && empty([B]$postvar['1'][/B]) ){
echo "<p class='error'>Your name is missing plz fill it again!</p>";

}

any better than:

if(isset($_POST['firstname']) && empty($_POST['firstname']) ){
echo "<p class='error'>Your name is missing plz fill it again!</p>";
