Required text, isn't showing up, no clues why?

Question

So I got this small script -

if (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['description'] == '')
{
    echo '<strong><font color="Red" size="2">REQ!</font></strong>';
} 
else
{
    echo '';
}

But it is not showing up after submit button has been pressed and if description is empty. All of the input names are correct, any help would pe appreciated, cause I just somehow can't find answer to this easy question. Best regards, Valters

Your code works for me...

Please verify that $placeadd->translate('required') actually returns a string value. If it doesn't, or returns an empty string, you won't see any result unless you view the source of the code.
