Validation rule

[ldoozer]

I am trying to validate a field to see if its empty or not and using:

if(strlen($company)<1){

 

this works fine but if someone adds a space character it lets is through.

 

Is there a way to catch this?

If space characters are not to be permitted at the start of the data, the end of the data, or as the whole data, the easiest method would be to use trim on the data.
