Well well well.. with the help of someone else pointing me in a
different direction altogether here's what we came up with that totally
works!


$PRODUCT_SELECTED = TRUE;

foreach($products as $value) {

if(empty($value)) {

$PRODUCT_SELECTED = FALSE;
}

last;

}

if(!$PRODUCT_SELECTED) {

$productQuery = db_query("SELECT name FROM CartTable
WHERE submitted=1 GROUP BY name");
while ($productResult = db_fetch($productQuery)) {

$products[] = $productResult[name];

}

grrr!

Somebody else replied with isset($varname). Try that. The count()
function
is working as expected (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.count.php). So maybe it's not the
best
choice for trying to find out what you want.

2003-02-05 Thread jay 
to find out if an array is empty use:
empty()

it must be unset
NULL returns false
0 returns false
it must be truly empty to return true...

RE: [PHP-DB] checking for empty array from a form field? grrrrrrrrrrr!

2003-02-05 Thread Aaron Wolski 
Ok... well

When I select the "select product" which has a option value="" it tells
me the count is one (1). If I select an ACTUAL product it tells me
one(1) was select.. if I select two ACTUAL products it tells me two (2)
products were selected.

For SOME reason it doesn't seem to be recognizing that the option
value="" is empty!


Any more ideas??

*sigh*

What about:

count($arrayname)

Should tell you how many items are in an array.

I usually use:

while(list($key,$value) = each($products)) {
echo "$key:$value";
}

First try isset($product) to see if it's being POSTed or GETted
properly. You might need to use $_POST['products'] or
$_GET['products'].
