Empty text field returns not empty value. was created by lipatovroman
Hello!
I'm not sure when it happened, but I'm sure it's FC bug.
So, I have php condition to check if $this->fields->display is empty.

Code:
if (empty($this->fields['text']->display)) { echo "empty"; } else { echo "not empty"; }


It worked fine for several years.

But today I discovered, completely by accident, when I was browsing the pages of the site, that the description area is blank.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what exactly happened.
In the database, the introtext table is empty. But my code wasn't working.
It turned out that $this->fields->display was returning a space.
I'm sure this space is added somewhere in the FC code. It's not in the database.

I edited the code and now everything works.

Code:
if (isset($this->fields['text']->display) && trim($this->fields['text']->display) !== '') { echo "not empty"; } else { echo "empty"; } ?>

Thanks for the reply.
Not helps.
I downloaded and install FC from master branch.
Then I added test code:
Code:
echo 'prefix'.$this->fields['text']->display.'suffix';

Note, that description field for test item is empty.

This is how it looks in browser:

And this is code from the browser:

[img


As you can see, there is an extra space between prefix and suffix.
