Hi Group Members
i have a problem with function empty() i use it to check if user entered the form fields and store it in array


for example :

if (empty($Game_rating))
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game.";

the problem when the user enters 0 in the form field
the empty function returns the error.

Is $Game_rating supposed to be an integer? If so, then make it one and check for <= to zero.


if(!isset($_Game_rating) || (int)$Game_rating <= 0)
{ $errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game."; }

Now you _know_ $Game_rating is an integer above zero and is safe to display and/or put into a query.

Simply checking for

if($Game_rating == '')

will throw notices on some setups about an undefined variable (depending upon error_reporting level) and will allow text through when it's supposed to just be an integer.
