Re: [PHP] Inserting a NULL value into MySQL via PHP
I tried this and it didn't work using PHP it just leaves a blank instead of
a NULL setting. Any other ideas?

I personally would do this part all in one shot:
$field = (isset($_CLEAN['field']) strlen($_CLEAN['field'])) ?
'$_CLEAN[field] : 'NULL';
Otherwise, I find myself too distracted by all the assignments and
if/else logic, and too likely to mess them up later with code changes
in earlier/later lines.
Note that you already have the apostrophes in $field for non-NULL, so
you would just do:
$query = insert into foo (field) values($_CLEAN[field]);
with no apostrophes
$_CLEAN represents an escaped and filtered string, or an unset index,
if nothing was in $_POST to start with. Or you can just use the empty
string '' in $_CLEAN if you find that easier to process.

[PHP] Inserting a NULL value into MySQL via PHP
Is there a way when making a MySQL database entry through a PHP script and there is no data to make the db treat it as NULL?

yeah, the final result would need to look like that. Without an
example i would guess the question would be more how do i get my
statement to send NULL instead of ''.
?php
$sql_quoted = array(); // shiflett' -- style
$myFieldValue = isset($POST['myFieldValue'])? $_POST['myFieldValue']: '';
if (strlen(trim($myFieldValue)) {
$sql_quoted['myField'] = ' . mysql_real_escape_string($myFieldValue) . ';
} else {
$sql_quoted['myField'] = 'NULL';
}
$query = INSERT INTO myTable(myField) VALUES({$sql_quoted['myField']});
echo $query;
?
And if the field posted was empty, it will be indentical to
Jasper's sql, other wise it will be a properly quoted string.
