multiple blank entries?

[John]

Hello all, new problem...

When I go to my secondary page of results after I fill info out on a form on
the first, I get 3 blank entries automatically inserted into the mysql
tables. This second form has these blank entries printing up each time even
if I go in to the second page w/o filling out any info on the first. Is
there a way I could prevent these blank entries from being automatically
entered? Like some code that says that if something is blank then not to
have it entered into the tables? or something easier?

thanks in advance!

Maybe the empty() function?

http://www.php.net/empty

<?php
if (!empty($someth ing)) {
// do insert
}
?>

but ... beware ...

<?php
$something = '0';
if (empty($somethi ng)) {
echo 'something is empty!!!!';
}
?>

That would print 'something is empty!!!!' though right? I don't want
anything to print.. like.. if it's blank then it just shouldn't print where
as if there is something there it should print. For instance, say I have a
name as a field.. if someone puts in their name, then it prints.. but for
some reason the table inserts 3 records into itself for no apparent reason
but when I print the record, I don't want those blank fields to print.

Tho what would be easier.. is figuring out why it's inserting those 3 blank
fields in itself in the first place :-)
