why is this always 'no'? - richb201 - 11-14-2022
Can anyone tell me why this always executes to 'no'? With the debugger I can clearly see values for $post_array
if ((empty($post_array->elimination_of_uncertainty)) && (empty($post_array->technological_in_nature)) &&
(empty($post_array->permitted_purpose)) && (empty($post_array->process_of_experimentation))) {
$iComplete = 'no';
} else {
$iComplete = 'yes';
}

They are all empty.
$post_array->elimination_of_uncertainty
$post_array->technological_in_nature
$post_array->permitted_purpose
$post_array->process_of_experimentation
empty is a technical term in PHP.

show your $post_array value, maybe other method more suitable for checking.

Yes, that worked. I used
$post_array->elimination_of_uncertainty!=''
instead.
thx
