I'm working on a project with PHP and I made this file:
<?php
$err = false;
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
$projectname = $_POST['project_name'];
if (strlen($projectname)>10){
$err = true;
echo "
<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('Your project name contains too many words');
</script>
";
}
$emailone = $_POST['mail_one'];
$emailtwo = $_POST['mail_two'];
$numstars = $_POST['num_stars'];
$numchars = $numstars + 2;
}
?>

This file is called action.php and whenever I run it with correct information it shows me an error occured, try again or contact with our developers. which I have set before. Basically as you can see I have called a boolean variable ($err) which take true if any kind of error appeared (for example a project name which has too many chars).
But the problem is this variable is set to true even when I submit the form with correct info. However I have called at the $err = false at the top the page.
So why this thing happens ? Note that no php errors appears at all.
