PHP can verify if a field is blank by using the empty() or isset() function.
The empty() function checks if a variable is empty or not, including if it is null, 0, "", false, or an empty array.
Example:
if (empty($_POST['field_name'])) {
// Field is empty
} else {
// Field is not empty
}
The isset() function checks if a variable is set and not NULL.
Example:
if (!isset($_POST['field_name']) || trim($_POST['field_name']) == '') {
// Field is empty
} else {
// Field is not empty
}
The above example also checks if the field is set and if it only contains white spaces.
