PHP Form Validation

re Chapter 14 - I want to include form validation for phone number which if the user leaves the phone text box empty, it will come up with an error to highlight that it needs to be filled.
Is there a short and easy way to do this

if(empty($_POST['your_field_name']))echo "You have to fill in the box!";
