PHP: check if any posted vars are empty - form: all fields required

Question

Is there a simpler function to something like this:

if (isset($_POST[\'Submit\'])) {
    if ($_POST[\'login\'] == \"\" || $_POST[\'password\'] == \"\" || $_P

Note : Just be careful if 0 is an acceptable value for a required field. As @Harold1983- mentioned, these are treated as empty in PHP. For these kind of things we should use isset instead of empty.

$requestArr =  $_POST['data']// Requested data 
$requiredFields = ['emailType', 'emailSubtype'];
$missigFields = $this->checkRequiredFields($requiredFields, $requestArr);

if ($missigFields) {
    $errorMsg = 'Following parmeters are mandatory: ' . $missigFields;
    return $errorMsg;
}

// Function  to check whether the required params is exists in the array or not.
private function checkRequiredFields($requiredFields, $requestArr) {
    $missigFields = [];
    // Loop over the required fields and check whether the value is exist or not in the request params.
    foreach ($requiredFields as $field) {`enter code here`
        if (empty($requestArr[$field])) {
            array_push($missigFields, $field);
        }
    }
    $missigFields = implode(', ', $missigFields);
    return $missigFields;
}
