unexpected T_IF means the parser did not expect your if statement. Look at the first line of actual code before the if statement. You'll see that you left out the semi-colon to end the line. That is why the if statement was not expected. The parser thinks you're trying to put the if statement in the same line, and it doesn't understand what to do.

For your first question, something like this will work:

$pattern = '/[^0-9]/';if (preg_match($pattern, $telefono)) {	// $telefono contains invalid characters}

If a user leaves a form element empty, so that it does not get posted, then there will be no corresponding element in your $POST array. Test for that using isset() or empty(), like this:

if (empty($POST['my_message'])) {	// the user left the element empty}

You'll get an error if you try to access a non-existent array member in any other way.
