The logic was there but my fingers got a bit ahead of my brain. The check works, but if you want to just check if it's empty turn the conditional to a negative, like so: if (!$testVar) { etc. } That makes it "If NOT $testVar" > I may be crazy, but wouldn't if ($variable) work just as well? If the string is empty it'll return a negatory on that check. > > Lemme double check that. > > $testVar = ""; > if ($testVar) { > echo "Yes"; > } > else { > echo "No"; > } > > Yeah, ok.
