You most likely are doing a check similar to if( !$somevar ) that doesn't like being checked in such a way. Unless you are specifically checking a boolean, I would suggest not using an if statement in such a manner. Consider using the isset() or empty() methods to check whether a variable contains a value.

oh okay thnks i'm gonna try using empty

The first line:

if(!$Firstname)

You are closing the if by placing the parenthesis after $Firstname. I think what you want is to place !$Firstname in it's own set of parenthesis:

if( (!$Firstname)

And at the end of your conditions, you are missing the closing parenthsis:

|| (!$Profession) || (!$Pastor) {

Should be

|| (!$Profession) || (!$Pastor) ) {

Note that all these parenthsis aren't needed since the NOT operator takes precedence over the OR operator. I think it looks better without them (not that it really matters though):

if( !$Firstname || !$Lastname || !$Gender || !$Maritalstatus ||
    !$Title || !$Address || !$City || !$Country || !$Phone ||
    !$Email || !$Matriculation || !$Faculty || !$Degree || !$Graduation ||
    !$Profession || !$Pastor ) {

Thanks let me try this will paste in result wen i'm done
