So the last one should show up as "0"... I tried else $obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 0; but that doesn't want to work. I tried echo $obligatoryFieldNotPresent; just get a blank page... I can't figure out how to determine if anything is in the String... perhaps I should be checking for null elseif ($obligatoryFiledNotPresent == "") { $obligatoryFieldNotPresent = 0; } I tried that too, but same result... -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
