[SOLVED] how to determine a null

[zwiebelspaetzle]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to print out contact info without lots of blank lines.  I've tried

 

if ( !is_null( $row['PHONE'] ) )

echo $row['PHONE'] . "<br />";

if ( !is_null( $row['E_MAIL'] ) )

echo $row['E_MAIL'] . "<br />";

if ( !is_null( $row['WEBSITE'] ) )

echo $row['WEBSITE'];

 

but it returns each line, regardless of whether the data field is null.  I've also tried it with isset($row['x']), to no avail.  If there a certain function or property to use with mysql data arrays?

 

Thanks,

--Chris

have you tried empty() instead?

Thanks!  empty() did the trick.
