I have field in a mysql database and I want to check to see if its blank and having trouble finding the value if its blank.

i used

{if $myfield ne ""} or {if $myfield ne " "} or {if $myfield ne "NULL"} and none them seem to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,


try the other way round:
Code:

{if ((isset($myfield)) && ($myfiels != ''))} {$myfield}
{else} alternate text for empty field {/if}


Regards, Chris
