Welcome to DaniWeb -- I'm pretty new here myself.
By the way, you can use the [ code][/code] tags to separate out your code snippets.

A couple pointers to start ...
Use curly brackets {} in your code, even when you can skip them
Use line indentation for successively nested blocks of code
Both of these will help you read your code better and find common problems faster

I found some missing end of line semi-colons (;). Programming is unforgiving of such minuscule errors.

There is no reason to chop up your PHP code with multiple <?php ... ?> blocks, unless there is regular html or other plain text in between these blocks.

Your first !isset test condition was missing the (!)

Your mysql query was missing '$dogbreed',

I think that's all I found that looked wrong in this code...but I might have missed something too. ;-)

I used your code langsor (thank you so much <3) but this error came up:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\dogstore.php on line 49

Try eliminating the opening parentheses in "if ( ( !isset( $_POST['dogname'] ) )". And check to make sure you've got all your braces in there correctly.

Eliminating the parentheses got me a parse error saying unexpected '!', expected '(' so I put it back in, and now it gave me:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\dogstore.php on line 43

But I dunno what a boolean is. ._.; Gosh this code is messed up, I'll have to have a word with my friend. xD

OK, try this:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if (!isset($_POST['dogname'])  || ($_POST['dogname'] == '' ) ) 
  2. {	
  3.   die( "Oops! You forgot to fill in the name!" );
  4. }

Works for me. I think there was an extra parentheses stuck there in the middle.

By the way, a Boolean is basically a true/false value. PHP uses that for its comparisons.

Sorry to introduce an error here ...

In this line
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if ( ( !isset( $_POST['Buy Dog'] ) ) {
remove one of the leading brackets ( like this
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if ( !isset( $_POST['Buy Dog'] ) ) {
No more error :-)
