Re: testing null strings for form field values

nd you don't want "" then you need to test that too, if (defined $var and $var ne "") { } or if (defined $var and length $var) { } But if you rather want to test $var against true value, you can simply use, if ($var) { } Btw, did you use -w switch and use strict in your script? You really should. All those example codes above will bail out when you use strict. hth s.a.n -- Hasanuddin Tamir: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Trabas: www.trabas.com
