I want to trim any whitepace and check if it is empty in the same line this is not working. if (empty(trim($_POST['_createcategory']))) {
Hi, try this: if (isset($_POST['_createcategory'])) { $value = trim($_POST['_createcategory']); if (empty($value)) {
Be very careful with empty(). It doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. For example if your _createcategory POST value contained a zero, the empty() check will fail in the above instance, giving a false result.
