How can PHP handle input validation for fields that may contain a "0" value?

When validating fields that may contain a "0" value, it's important to differentiate between an empty field and a field with the value "0". One way to handle this is by using the `isset()` function to check if the field is set and not empty. If the field is set and not empty, you can then validate the input further.

// Check if the field is set and not empty
if(isset($_POST['field']) && $_POST['field'] !== ""){
    // Validate the input further
    $field = $_POST['field'];
    // Additional validation logic here
} else {
    // Handle the case where the field is empty
    echo "Field cannot be empty";
}
