Re: is_null

It doesn't tell you if a variable is actually null, but unless you specifically need to know if it is actually "NULL", just testing for truth is usually enough. For most uses it works fine, but if you really need to know wether or not it's null, take one of the other suggestions. For instance, if you need to see if someone submitted something to the $username variable, use: if ($username) { // stuff } -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
