When editing My Profile, and a user types the number 0 into a required custom field, submitting the form returns a UBB Error:

<fieldname>is a required field

For example:

# of petsis a required field

Note that there is also no space between the name of the field, and the word 'is'.

The first custom field, which is set as required.

php treats 0 as basically empty/null. So when it's required and we check if it has a value, 0 is being treated as no value, so it thinks the field isn't filled in. I'll need to change some code to make it look for a value or 0 explicitly.

Yeh thats what I had figured; with most things if you treat it as a varchar it'll allow a 0 though, eventhough it is a number which would generally be forced as an int; so it'd interesting that it still treats it as a 0 since i think those are treated as a varchar
