I've been fiddling with this for a while but I still can't figure this out. I hav a form with like 10 different fields on and I want to check to see if $name exists and if $email exists. But somewhere in my logic, I can't get it to error out if they're missing. I can't get the if's/else's to match up. Can someone help me out? 
if (param()) {
    if($name)
       {
        if($email)
              {
            if(exists $emails{$email})
                     {
                    print "<center><b>Email already exists in database
+.</b></center>\n";
             }
             else
                     {

                                 $emails{$email} = "$info";
                    print "<center><b>Your information was added to ou
+r system!</b></center>\n";
                    
               }
        else 
              {
                     print "Email was missing";
                     exit;
              }
} else {
print "Name was missing";
exit;
}
}
