hi!

why have the field $usrinfo['user_icq'] a empty space, when its empty in the database?

when i left the field empty is it after the saving in the DB empty but not in the userinfo.php. is the filed not filled, i become a " " as return.

Code:

      if ($ya_config['useinstantmessicq'] >= '1' AND (is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin))) {


         if ($usrinfo['user_icq'] == '') $usrinfo['user_icq'] = _YA_NA;


         echo '<tr><td width="30%" align="left">' . _ICQ . '</td><td width="70%" align="left"><strong>' . $usrinfo['user_icq'] . '</strong></td></tr>' ;


      }

WHY will it not to be empty?

Code:

if ($usrinfo['user_icq'] == '') $usrinfo['user_icq'] = _YA_NA;

i checked this with urlencode and found a   in the instant messanger strings, when the field was not filled. oO

i replaced this strange   with str_replace. can anyone tell me, in wich file this code was written?

Code:

if ($ya_config['useinstantmessicq'] >= '1' AND (is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin))) {


// $usrinfo['user_icq'] = urlencode($usrinfo['user_icq']);


$usrinfo['user_icq'] = str_replace('&nbsp;', '', $usrinfo['user_icq']);


if ($usrinfo['user_icq'] == '') $usrinfo['user_icq'] = _YA_NA;


echo '<tr><td width="30%" align="left">' . _ICQ . '</td><td width="70%" align="left"><strong>' . $usrinfo['user_icq'] . '</strong></td></tr>' ;


}

neralex, the code is inserting the non-breaking space character on the page just for compliance purposes because it is wrapped in a <strong> tag.

On a side note, not really relevant in this case, if you have borders on your tables, each cell needs to have a value in order for the borders to be drawn by most browsers. Therefore, even if a <td> has no value, we have for years used the non-breaking space character to give it a value so the borders will be drawn properly.

You see a   on the ICQ field on which page? User info? If the value is blank, it will show "N/A" (defined by _YA_NA) rather than  

Code:

         if ($usrinfo['user_icq'] == '') $usrinfo['user_icq'] = _YA_NA;


         echo '<tr><td width="30%" align="left">' . _ICQ . '</td><td width="70%" align="left"><strong>' . $usrinfo['user_icq'] . '</strong></td></tr>' ;
