quick way:

if (!$field["name"]){
} else {}

elegant ways (there will be many):

if (empty($field["name"])){ // null or 0
} else {}

if (is_null($field["name"])){ // null
} else {}

is_scalar() // string
is_integer() // integer
is_float() // float

etc etc etc

How do I check if a variable is blank or not. I am returning data from a
MySQL database and if a field is empty I would like to do something
different.

I tried
if($field["Name"] == "") { do this }
else { do this }

It does not work right. Actually, at one point, it was working in the exact
opposite manner.
