It is probably worth pointing out that the array elements will actually be of type string, OR NULL if the field is null in the database. Thus, either use a double equal comparison to look for empty or null Or, use a triple equal comparison to be able to distinguish the two cases e.g. if ($field === '') echo "Empty, not NULL\n"; if ($field === NULL) echo "NULL\n"; if ($field == '') echo "Empty or NULL\n"; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-row.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33981 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33981&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33981&report=yes
