I've been playing with this for hours, maybe someone on here can help me.
I am making a self-validating form in which I have a title field (input type="text") and an RTE (tinyMCE). I am trying to determine if there is any content entered by the user in tinyMCE and I am trying to account for all possibilities, for example, if the user justs tabs over in the RTE, then tinyMCE generates three .....which I do not want to count as content because it's not, they're just spaces. I've tried this:
$post = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
$post = str_replace(' ','',$post);
$post = implode('',explode(' ',$post));
But if the content entered is
Then there still comes out to be 4 characters entered so $post is still not equal to "", which is what I would use for validating. empty() doesn't work either. Can anyone help me out?
