However, if it is empty, then it gives me an $image is never NULL in your example - empty is not exactly the same as NULL, although NULL is considered empty. anyway, just for fun chew on this and see if something sticks: <?php $image = (mt_rand(0,1) == 0) ? null : "/images/example.jpg"; if (empty($image)) { echo "False"; } else { echo '<img src="', $image, '" width="100px" height="100px" />'; } ?> > error. I am very much so a novice and appreciate your patience. okay novice - post the error - even gurus (thats not me) can't mind read. :-
