Help with a simple conditional statement

[ali_p]

Hiya,

I'm pulling my hair out over a conditional statement I just can't seem to get right.
Basically I have a image upload script but I only want to use it if there is an image selected. If this filed is empty then move on to the rest of the code.

This is what I have

//if there is a logo
[B]if(!empty($_FILES['vImage'])&& ($_FILES['vImage']!= ''))[/B]{

image upload script here

// now we need to insert into the articles table
insert  data script
}
//if there isn't a logo
else{
just insert data script 
}

Any ideas as to what is going wrong with my if statement ?

Thanks in advance

I would try
if(isset($_FILES['vImage'])
and what is

  [b] [/b]

?

[ali_p]

if(isset($_FILES['vImage'])

This does not work either the script still looks for the uploaded file.

The

'[b][/b]'

is the formatting that you can select when submitting a post, stands for bold, not part of my code.

Thanks

The [ b ]'s should not be there.

You can also check for

if($_FILES['vImage']['name'] !== '')
