[RESOLVED] Empty db row, if/else

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 27.2014

I’m pretty new to php and I’m trying to figure out the most on my own to learn but been stuck on this problem a little while so decided to ask for help.

Alright, I got a row in my db named “custom”. What I want to do with that is something like this.

[code=php]
If $custom = (empty) {
$label = (default value)
} else {
$label = $custom
}
[/code]

It’s probably really easy but haven’t be able to find any good resources to help me do it myself.
Thanks!

When re- reading it now I realize I might have explained this poorly.

If ($custom == (empty) [B]<-- It's here instead of empty, I don't know what to put to get it to realize if it is empty or not.[/B] ) {

$label = "1"

} else {

$label = $custom

}

Just put empty to display what I want.

Hope that clears it up. Cheers!

OR - a quick search of the PHP Manual (handy item that) on 'empty' turns up the 'empty' function. Doh!

@gastooonauthorJan 27.2014 — Didn't find anything in php manual. But after a few more hours of digging and trying this was what I were looking for.

if (!empty($custom)) {

I were so close haha. But thanks anyways! ?

@ginerjmJan 27.2014 — ??? How can you not find 'empty' in the manual??? I simply typed empty in the search box in the functions section and voila - Empty() came up.

Success!
