Hmmm... I don't see an out on this, but was wondering if you know of a function or method to do this business:
My script works perfect with the exception of my empty() function, because I see the date() function creates a value regardless if my field $date_start (from my table) is in fact empty.
I'm just trying to echo nothing if the value of $date_start is NULL (blank). Any ideas where to look on this one?
....
$date_start = $row['date_start'];
$date_end = $row['date_end'];
$date_start_converted = date("M jS, Y", strtotime($date_start));
$date_end_converted = date("M jS, Y", strtotime($date_end));
if (empty($date_start_converted)) {
$date_start_converted = "";
}
....
