That doesn't work. Only the last value is assigned;

if all you want to know is whether any one is empty, then

$err_msg= '';

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
if(empty($value)){
$err_msg= "$key is empty";
break;
}

echo $err_msg;

Or
$err_msg= '';

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
if(empty($value)){
$err_msg .= "$key is empty<br>";
}

echo $err_msg;
