file admin_notifications.php accept empty value

[ccataldo]

Hi guys.
Excuse my English, it's not my native language.
First of all, thank those who make this great Web program possible.
My question is the following:
I need HTML textarea tag not accept null or empty values.
I have tried with is_nul(), isset() and empty() without satisfactory results.
first of all, Thanks

The Input Class sanitizes null values and turns it into "" (essential empty or null but neither), what I generally do is this:
Assuming title of textarea is called "textarea":
$textarea = Input::get('textarea');
if($textarea=='') $textarea=null;

Then you would be able to use is_null. Otherwise, you can use =='' instead.
