Yes, but NULL is a special thing to MySQL. If you don't quote 'NULL' it
just means 'empty' to mySQL. If your database schema allows NULLS (it's
optional), your insert will go through.

Either cast your empty ints (which should make it zero) or do an if
(!isset($variable)) { $variable = 'NULL'; }

Hi,
Up to this point in time I used to construct my insert statements like
this
$qid = mysql_query('INSERT INTO MYTABLE (
column1,
column2,
) VALUES (
"'.$value1.'",
"'.$value2.'"
)');
However I understand it is better to remove the quote marks around an
insert
if the column type is an integer. This is easy to do, however if the
$value
is empty it causes a mysql error. Has anyone encountered this and
found a
solution?
Thanks for your advice
