I can't seem to get empty() to check if someone has left
a textarea unanswered in an online form with code like
the following:

<textarea rows=8 cols=50 name=open_why_good_consult>
<?echo $open_why_good_consult?>
</textarea> 

if(empty($open_why_good_consult)) {
        print "Please fill in why you would be a good consultant";
}


Any ideas?  It seems to work for things like this:

<input type=text name=user_name size=8 value="<?echo $user_name?>">

if empty($user_name) {
        print "Please fill in a username";
}

I suppose it is because the variable is not getting posted.  Is
there a way to post the variable?   

Thanks.  

  John
