If you're just checking that $Name_vor has a length (and, thus, that it
exists) can you not go -

if ($Name_vor) do_such_and_such;

Have you had a look at www.php.net/strlen ? One of the contributions there

Beware: strlen() counts new line characters at the end of a string, too!

$a = "123\n";
echo "<p>".strlen($a)."</p>";

The above code will output 4.
