Hey Vincent or others :)

Any reason why this won't flag an empty field as an error?

<PRE>// verify input.
if (!$cn || !$n || !$mail || !$home || !$street || !$city || !$state || !$country) {
DisplayErrMsg(" Error: All the fields are mandatory.") ; //msg function.
exit() ;
}</PRE>

is the ! (NOT) symbol not recognised in php, I thought it was?? I'm on a server using php4, btw.

Found the problem...in preceding code I had a " ", which was filling the field and not giving me the NULL I was after. Duh...lesson learned.

Darn, and I didn't even get a go at solving it! :-)

But ,just goes to show that the good old "debug" routines are worth writing.
Small print statements like

if ($debug) { print "DEBUG: var1:".$var1."\nvar2:".$var2 };

really make your day in cases like this!

Maybe next time...😉

And yes....debugging rotines are now my best friends!
