you need to throw an if statement so if it returns empty it doesnt submit.

 

 

<?php
if(empty($shoutt)){ echo " Please insert a Message!";} ?>

working.. rocking 

 

thanks man..

 

i used this

 

if(!$shouter || empty($shout)){

//do nothing

}else{

 

//connect to dabatase and insert

 

}

 

Do you know some other things i should add with a shoutbox? like preventing html or links?

[darkfreaks]

try strip_tags it removes all html and PHP code from being inserted
