How do I test if a record is empty in my database.

[poleposters]

Hi,

 

I'm grabbing some data out of my database but want to check if its empty before I print it.

 

This is what I'm doing.

 

$phone= 555 5555;

print "Ph:$phone";

 

The problem is if $phone contains an empty string. Ph: will still print. And that looks kinda odd on my page.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers.

Read up on empty().

$phone = empty($phone) ? "" : "PH:$phone";
