Re: [PHP] Parse error: Needs T_VARIABLE or $ From: Delbono (delbono <email protected>)
Date: 06/30/01

Try this:

$r = trim($rowData[3]);
if ( !empty( $r ) )
{
$tdStr.= trim($rowData[3]);
}

I tokk a look at the manual:

1. Note: empty() is a language construct.
so:
!empty is like to say !if or !while : so it's wrong-

2.
Note that this is meaningless when used on anything which isn't a variable;
i.e. empty (addslashes ($name)) has no meaning since it would be checking
whether something which isn't a variable is a variable with a false value.
