<?php
         if( $my_form_var % 50 ){
                 echo "$my_form_var is not a multiple of 50!";
         }
?>

the % is the modulus operator meaning it returns the remainder of a 
division operation. If the number is divisible by 50 the remainder is 0 ( 
aka false for the if statement ) other wise it is not 0 ( aka true )
