Form validation - multipart/form-data -

When I post information to php from a form using enctype="multipart/form-data"
I can't tell if the data has been filled in.

I'm using if(!strlen($strLastName)) -- then output an error message

But it's ignored.

I can echo it just fine echo($strLastName);
when I do enter somethin into the field.

Is there a work around for this bug??

Thanks,
Ward

PS: Sorry for posting this again.. I put in in the wrong section last time.

uhm, that shouldn't be a problem, why not try:

if (trim($strLastName) == '') {
echo "Error Message";
}

That should work in any case.

Hope that helps!
