Maybe someone can help.
this script catches all duplicate entries, in the hostname field of my
database. The problem is, if the hostname field is left blank, [not all
devices have a DNS name], the script sees the blank field, and thinks
it's a duplicate.

How can I reword it, so it prevents typed hostnames [like it does now]
but allows blank hostnames.

Thanks in advance!
Pete



/*Chck for another item with the same hostname */

     $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM asset
                              WHERE hostname ='$hostname'
                            ");


     // check if row is returned, if yes error, if no insert

            if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 0)
     
           {
                    echo "I'm sorry, I can't do that. A duplicate
hostname was found.";

            } 

       else {
                    // DO INSERT
