What's the deal with this?

[Anon]

I have a simple form with a textarea named "Comments"

<textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="35">
</textarea>

Then I have some code to see if the textarea actually has something in it

if ( empty($Comments))
{ header"Location: /inputerror2.php" );
exit();
}

This code does not work. PHP is seeing something in the form when it loads. Is there a way to make sure PHP thinks the form is empty when the form loads? A function to kill any strings that might be in there?

Try:

<textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="35"></textarea>

PHP might be finding a whitespace char in it.
