Null String

[ryclem]

I get a parse error with the following code....I just want the if statement to print if condition 1 and $row['description'] !="" is true....meaning only if there is a value for $row['description']...

any thoughts....

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if ($row['date']==$cal_date)&& ($row['description'] != " ")
{print "<td class='tcell' bgcolor=#CCCCCC valign=\"top\" height=\"100\">$d $row[description]</td>";
}
else {print "<td class='tcell' bgcolor=#CCCCCC valign=\"top\" height=\"100\">$d yuck</td>";
}
}

Well what you are looking for is if $row['description'] doesn't hold a single space character != " ". What you probably want is:

if (($row['date'] == $cal_date) && (!is_null($row['description']))

And you should wrap the whole think in parenthesis so that php doesn't get confused.

fixing up some errors.
can't print an array object in the quotes of a print because you have to use the double quotes to point to what object you want in the array.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if ( ($row['date']==$cal_date) && ($row['description']!= "") )
{
print "<td class=\"tcell\" bgcolor=#CCCCCC valign=\"top\" height=\"100\">$d ".$row["description"]."</td>";
}
else {
print "<td class=\"tcell\" bgcolor=#CCCCCC valign=\"top\" height=\"100\">$d yuck</td>";
}
}
