----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Brandonisio I'll take a wild guess. Maybe $email needs more testing like:
if ( strlen($email) >2) $email might be an empty string but still exist. Also if you have a default value set for the field in mysql, you do not need to set the field to get the default do not assign a value. Also do not assign an empty string like '' for the value or you will get a NULL value. Hi Mike, I'm checking for a min of 10 chars plus trimming, checking for illegal chars and the email format etc. I was assuming that if I inserted an empty string into 'email', it would use the default value specified. So, how do I make it use the default value? I've tried using NULL. Regards, Bob E.
