malfunction equality operators

[kloassie]

Hi people,

 

i have something really weird going on.

 

i have a html from that posts to a php-file

in the php i have the following:

 

if($_POST['name'] !== "") {

  // some echoing and mysql connecting code

}

 

at home everything works perfectly, but the stupid thing is

that at my work, the if-statement ALWAYS executes, wether i post a name or not...

 

when i change it into

 

if($_POST['name'] != "") {

  // some echoing and mysql connecting code

}

 

the if~ NEVER executes at my work...

 

both at home as at my work i use phpdev423, so PHP 4.2.3

at my home i have normal Windows XP running,

at my work Windows 2000 with multiple user accounts

 

anybody can tell me what is causing this problem?

 

thanks for all help,

 

Klaas

Try using php's built in <a href="http://php.net/empty">empty()</a> function instead:

if (!empty($_POST['name']))
{
    //execute code
}

U can just use "if($_POST['name'])" or "if(isset($_POST['name']))". Also see if register_globals is on (if so turn it off) as it probably may cause problems with superglobals, but im not very sure.
