If

[Anon]

Ok, this following statement is supposed to say if $newpass does not have anything in the input box, then don't update, else if it does, update. But it will update it either way. Any ideas?

if(isset($submit) || $newpass <> "") {
$db = mysql_select_db("p",$con) or die("error");
$check = md5($newpass);
$sql = "UPDATE users set check = '$check' WHERE uname='$uname'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$con) or die("error");
} else {
echo ("");
}
Thanks

Your conditional is an OR, so what you are saying is.

If isset $submit OR $newpass doesn't = an empty string. So whenever you submit you match the first part of this conditional and it returns true. You probably wanted it to read.

if (isset($submit) && $newpass <> "")

Saying if $submit exists AND $newpass isn't empty then update.

I believe the variable gets SET if it's from an HTML form, regardless of whether it's empty or not. So it will initialize as empty, which means testing to see if it's set (or exists) will always return true from an HTML form. Try empty().
