I had tried that too. Except I used !empty.

if (!empty($nominee_first_name) && !empty($nominee_middle_initial) && !
empty($nominee_last_name))
{
// If not empty, insert into database
$nominee_field_query = "INSERT INTO faculty_nominations.nominations
(nominee_first_name, nominee_middle_initial, nominee_last_name,
nominee_comments)
values ('$nominee_first_name', '$nominee_middle_initial',
'$nominee_last_name', '$nominee_comments')";

// update database with infromation submitted
$db_query = mysqli_query ($db_connect, $nominee_field_query);

}
else
{
echo 'The fields are empty';
}

When I submit, if I have data in one field, but not in all, it
displays "The fields are empty". I want it to submit into the database
if any fileds are filled in, but not if there are no fields filled in.
