Number 0 not posting in chat

ricerocket · March 25, 2008

Hi, I have a chat script and when I post "0" by iteself it doesn't show/post the message. Is this like making the script think that it's "NULL" or something? How do I get arround this?

You must be performing a check to determine if the message is worth posting.

What check are you using?

I don't have the patience to sort through all that code. Somewhere in there you have a check that basically says:

"If the incoming message is not empty, then do this"

Can you find and paste that code?

thedarkwinter · March 26, 2008

I don't have the patience either, but near the top i see the line

if ($playerinfo[chatban] > 0){

That got anything to do with it? Otherwise, look for other >0's

roopurt18 · March 26, 2008

It's probably something like:

if( !empty($msg) ){
}

Some of the PHP functions will consider certain values empty even when we don't want them to, such as '0'. I'm going from memory here so I could be mistaken.

Can you explain to me what this means?

<script>
document.chatform.text.focus();
document.getElementById('entry').focus();
</script>

roopurt18 · March 27, 2008

It's Javascript. It places the cursor in a field on the page.
