How do I check for an empty field in a form?

If you want to check whether a form field has a value or not, use the empty function


<?php

$formvalue = "on";

if(empty($formvalue)) { echo "I am empty!"; }

?>

People sometimes get confused between isset and empty - the former just checks whether the variable is present or not but ignores any value it may or may not have.
